And then we grow...we are faced with the harsh realities of the world. We realise the world is not as kind as it once was. We are given countless opportunities to be optimistic about our woes, to look for a silver lining or to view the glass as half full. Some will succeed but soon our burdens become heavy and heavier till they begin to dig into our shoulders. Again we could try to optimistic but some are weak. Some get engulfed in a darkness created by the negativity, lack of hope, failed dreams and general hardship.
You can't help but wallow in self pity with a feeling of unworthiness. Like maybe you deserve all this because you didn't work hard enough or didn't take the right path. But the depth of your darkness deepens...You find distractions alcohol, friends, drugs. Anything that will make you forget, anything that will make you happy even if it is only for a few moments, anything that will make you numb.
But then something happens...you find love. But because of your insecurities you cant be sure they love you back. But its only the beginning and in the depth of your darkness a candle has been lit....
