I woke up shocked that I’d slept. Morning light sliced through the blinds, momentarily softening the chaos that had become my life. Then he entered -voice sharp, cold, blaming me for everything: the move to his dream house, the ruined couch he’d hurled to the curb, the drinking, the glass thrown in my direction… even my existence. His solution is that I should kill myself. In that instant, watching the man I’d loved dissolve into rage and whiskey, I saw something I hadn’t allowed myself to see: the life I had spent twelve years building was gone -not because love is weak, but because love starved, shamed, and unsafe will eventually die. What remained was an eerie inner emptiness… and a thin, steady thread of awareness: If love can be killed, light can be reborn. This article, ‘Lightworker Path to Happiness,’ is about that rebirth. It’s about the moment you stop negotiating with darkness, gather what’s left of your soul, and transmute pain into purpose. If you’re standing in the ashes of a marriage, numb, furious, or both, you are not finished. You are standing at the ignition point of your light.
Divorce is a dreaded word. And truth be told, our society still lacks compassion for those who walk through it. We celebrate weddings, anniversaries, and the illusion of perfection -but we turn away from the messiness of endings. Yet divorce was the hardest decision I’ve ever made, especially after years of building something I once believed in. At our core, we are creators. We build homes, families, and dreams with everything we have. When we’re faced with the unthinkable – tearing down what we spent years constructing – it breaks something inside. It’s not easy. It’s never clean. But sometimes destruction is the only way to survive… and rebuild. That pain, that fear, that unbearable unknown – it was all worth it. Because the life I rebuilt on the other side is not just peaceful, it’s powerful. It’s mine. And it’s filled with absolute joy, purpose, and freedom.
The first lesson I learned as a Lightworker is this: no matter how much we love someone, we cannot change them. We can only change ourselves. That truth is the sacred key to creating relationships that are genuinely loving, lasting, and soul-supportive. When we shift from trying to fix others to honoring our growth, we unlock a life filled with purpose, passion, and peace.
Lightworkers are born to love, to share the love, and to be loved. From the moment we arrive in this world, we are judged, criticized, and shaped by rules and expectations stripped of love – detached, conditional, and often cold. We adapt. We learn to survive by pleasing others, by earning approval, by molding ourselves into what others want us to be. Somewhere deep down, we believe that if we do what’s expected of us, maybe – just maybe – we’ll finally be loved in return. So we chase acceptance. We strive to be enough.
However, the truth is that no relationship can thrive if we don’t first build one with ourselves. Self-love is the foundation for every lasting, meaningful relationship.
The real healing begins when we give that love to ourselves first. When we get honest about who we are, what we want, and what we stand for.
