About This Quote
I feel incendiary, a wildfire. My spirit licks at the gates of a very elaborate, customized, and distracting emotional Hades. Hades is an underworld region in Greek mythology, ruled over by the god of the dead, Zeus. When things are bad, you can look to the light of fire.
That’s how I feel about my emotions. Whenever I’m feeling down or upset with what’s going on in my life, I can pull up an image of fire and wonder if it isn’t better to be consumed by it than to be consumed by Hades. It feels better to be consumed by fire than by being consumed by my own inability to cope with what’s going on in my life.
