“He drives me wild. I mean it. People are so cruel these days. They cause pain in places unimaginable. But there was this light, a light that grew upon the shadows of the dark. For that light was he. The one and only that could defeat the dark with happiness and joy. He brought it to me. I look at people and I can see in their eyes the torment and misery they’ve dispersed. For him, that was not the case. He was love all in one. A bless’d boy who has given me new heart and a new meaning. Depression conquered me until he took my hand and saved me.”

I tell myself I’ve moved on but here I am, reaching out for a source of light that burns for someone else.

Hope and Fear

In some uncanny way, hope and fear are the same emotions with different perspectives.

For instance:

Hope originates from fearing something won’t happen.

Fear derives from hoping something won’t happen.

I believe these two emotional embodiments circle each other in their own “Yin/Yang.” Fear, of course, would be seen as Yin while Hope is characterized by Yang. At the same time, though they are interconnected, they share pieces of each other.

Though things may contradict each other, they may be linked in ways that prove themselves to be unorthodox. With our own personalities, sometimes we’ll even contradict ourselves but that may only show how interconnected we are with ourselves.

“In terms of the emotional embodiment of our dimensional existence, we will never live the life that truly fits us. In reference to time, we are living life with absolute perfection.”
