Twilight

There is a beauty behind any afterglow, symmetry in every night fall,

and the darkness that awaits and hopes for a restful evening.

Sincerely, Yours Truly

If i will take darkness literally, i have to say we are extremely opposite --- i am totally not a night person (but guess what shift i work at the moment, NOC shift). Secondly, there is always that kid fear in me when it comes to sleeping, personally prefer rather need to have a night lamp turn on at night to be able to have a goodnight sleep.

But when it comes to the art of photography, i have to say 'Night Photography' is one part that i have been sensual and attracted from the beginning when i was still learning. Being a portrait photographer, on and off i miss it terribly, that constant yearning still exist. There is a defiance in taking those shots in an unlit environment. You have that vision yet a sense of excitement building up while waiting for that slower shutter speed to take it's course. The longer it sustain, you know you will have a bigger grandeur effect.

Got to BELIEVE in Magic

As a typical human being when we encounter DESPICABLE pain, we normally responded to fly away with it | detached ourselves to the society hoping to ease the suffering.

But in the first place, why do we allow ourselves to part in this latitude anyway? Why can't we outline our so called LIFE from the beginning so as NOT to encounter such anguish and grief in the end? Why do we subject ourselves to this SELF-INFLICTED pain? Why do we take into account the RISK that we knew all along as part of the whole?

Simply because we wanted to be LOVED, we wanted to feel that we BELONG, and clearly we just wanted to be HAPPY --- sincerely just like that.

But is it WORTH it? I guess no one really knows until one goes through with it... Personally, i have to say YES --- truly POSITIVE that these so called misery and heartaches will mold us to be a BETTER person, it makes us STRONGER, and tender us to be well rounded | WISER living soul individuals.

Despite the pulsating ache i honestly understand we should not stop BELIEVING that there is still HOPE | that MAGIC will one day come around and will make us SMILE again, of course no guarantee how long these happiness will last but for sure if you just appreciate that there is that fair chance that it will stay there for good... even FOREVER.

“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

Maya Angelou

It's like your own shadow, most of the time you really do not notice not until later when the sun comes down behind you, that shadow is a constant reminder that it really has not left you --- that feelings that you've shown will never be forgotten.

I am your shadow, and I will be your constant reminder that once in your life you've known someone who made you feel complete and whole as a person.
Thank you for the confusion and unintended adversity... without these i would not have found the TRUTH, WISDOM that goes with it, and most importantly MYSELF.
