After a lot of therapy and "soul searching" me embracing my darkness is apparently healthy.

However, psychological studies have shown that acceptance of those negative emotions is the more reliable route to regaining and maintaining peace of mind. Whether practiced through the lens of ancient Eastern philosophies, or in increasingly popular forms of treatment like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy, acceptance of one’s dark emotions is now backed by a body of evidence connecting the habit to better emotional resilience, and fewer symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Yes to all of that and I speak from experience.

Those who feel lovable, who love, and who experience belonging simply believe they are worthy of love and belonging. - Brene Brown

Embracing our "shadow" and "light" is when we become a whole person. It's also acknowleding the shadow/dark side, but maintaining control of it. Congratulations!

I honestly don't think she has a dark side, or a streak of bad girl in her.
