THE BAFFLED CONCEPT OF DARKNESS!

Everything has its wonders, even darkness, and silence. Let's just say that this tops my 'i want to talk about this' list. 

Basically we are all dark. Dark doesn't necessarily have to mean bad or evil, even though it's used in reference to that. Nonetheless, I feel that darkness doesn't really have a definite meaning to what it exactly refers to. To me it also refers to our pain, our sorrow, and our 'i hate life' phase and the so many other extreme situations or feelings or the rush of emotions that we face. I see it as the period where there is no light, where we start to feel empty and doubt if there's any humanity or love left in the world. The period where we are stuck. And we have no idea why something that happened had happened or why we don't have answers to a lot of things in life. The sun shines in its own light and gives us these beautiful mornings to wake up to. The moon doesn't necessarily shine on its own - Yet the nights are calming and soothing and takes us to this deep side of ours where we just sit and think for hours about what the heck is happening with our life. And 'the answers' that we keep looking for the entire day.  That's what nights to do us. I bet we would never find someone who says 'Woah the sun/the mornings make me feel so calm'.

In a very disturbing way though, D-A-R-K is what makes things better. Like how our flaws or our pain makes our life better. It kinda has its own way of teaching us what life is. Well it's definitely not better when we are going through the learning process. We have always been picked and bullied on for our flaws. But you know what I mean. Ultimately darkness is what helps us find meaning and answers to so many questions that we have. So to me, I feel like we should appreciate and accept this darkness that's within us. We should expect and accept it hitting us right on the head. When embracing the nights leads to a beautiful morning, then embracing our darkness would help us fall in love with ourselves. Which is what every one of us deserves. Unfortunately, we all learn our mistakes the hard way. And life does throw these hard ways upon us. This is what life will make us go through. We might as well be ready for the tide to hit us than drown in it.
