Darkness.

There are many things that darkness symbolises and well, what darkness symbolises to me would be peace.

Yes, many people associate with bad things. Fear, evil and what not. But don't darkness also symbolises silence? Peace?

To be honest, I like the night more than the day. I like the silence and comfort that the night provides compared to the bustling, bright days. The stars and the moon have always been able to capture my attention compared to the bright sun.

Yes, darkness is always associated with Satan while the light has always been associated with God. But, no. This does not mean that I have to love what the society expects me to love or what the society thinks it is right to love. Because after all, God created both day and night. God created both dark and light. It isn't wrong for me to embrace the dark more than the light.

But sometimes, in the midst of loving the dark and silence, I lose myself to my train of thoughts and my depressed self. I lose myself and I don't know how to get back. I look at myself in the mirror and think, what was I thinking? how could he love someone like me. How could I ever be good enough for him. I look and think, it would be a miracle anyone would think that I look good.

But the thing is, God performs miracles. He puts someone special in my life. A friend. A friend that has never left me, despite the pain I caused. And I am grateful. Because at times when I lose myself, he brings me back. He reminds me of why I am beautiful, that I am perfect in my own little imperfections and it just takes the right person to see it. He tells me that, someday, someone will come along and love me for who I am.

The thing is, a lot of people associates darkness with evil because of what the media has been displaying. Ghosts, vampires and what not. But let me tell you something now, since God created both the light and the dark, the two are equally safe and dangerous. Do not be afraid of the dark just because, well maybe there isn't much people. Because you will always find safety and comfort in God.

Darkness.
