HELLO DARKNESS, MY OLD FRIEND

               A blog by Samyak Shah

I don’t necessarily enjoy the light. I am more of the darkness person.

I enjoy the fact that I can’t see anything around me and I can’t be seen inside the surrounding.

I sometimes like to know that people can’t see me, which gives me the advantage of doing what I like to do, without ever having to worry about the judging eyes.

It’s not like I don’t do my own shit in broad daylight, but don’t you just love it when nobody has the ability to pass any negative judgement or criticism?

I know and appreciate the light because I understand that without the light, darkness is probably nothing. For every component of the world, there is a counter component that explains each other’s importance. The world is no longer run on one common opinion and view like it used to be because everyone has a different liking and everyone finds a way to get it.

Darkness is appreciated because we humans have five primary senses and we know that when one sense stops functioning (even if it is temporary) it heightens the other senses. Why else do you think we often times do activities that make us use different senses while closing one of them primarily?

Whatever doesn’t excite us doesn’t exist for too long, does it?

Like I said, darkness provides solace of not being visible to the world because if the eyes are just going to make you feel as if you should be dead, darkness just provides a medium for it.

We can’t see anything properly when in the dark and that’s when we start to see who and what to actually trust. This is possibly the most underrated thing about darkness. No one necessarily looks at it this way.

For the ones who are spontaneous are the people who truly understand the need of darkness because what the light can’t do, darkness does. Darkness provides the amount of hope that light possibly couldn’t. Think about it: When you see everything in front of you, do you hope for something good, or do you think about things that could go wrong and how they can be prevented?

EXACTLY

Now, think about it when you’re in the dark: Do you think about the bad things or do you think about trying to get out of it as safely and as fast as possible? So, what seems to be more motivating?

The ones who care about the light, usually work in the dark.

Darkness is something that motivates me to find light and when I’ve lit up a place, I move on to another dark place so that I can light that up as well. I like to know that the world is not a dark place. I love to be in the dark, but I don’t necessarily appreciate every other ass interfering with my work. I light up a place and move on because my darkness is my business, which is not for everyone to poke their nose into.

Seems like it’s a goodbye for now...
