Life beats down and crushes the soul but art reminds you that you have one. -Stella Adler<br /> He who lives upon hope will die fasting.<br /> -Benjamin Franklin<br /> If you&#039;re absent during my struggle. Don&#039;t expect to be present during my success.


They say we aren't afraid
Of the dark,
Just simply of the unknown,
But that would mean
We fear
The next page of a book
Or a loading computer.
A covered object even.
I believe we as humans fear the dark
For society associates it with demons
And our own
We are too scred to face.

To love is to be vulnerable; Triumph is born out of struggle; We notice shadows most when they stand alone in the midst of overwhelming light.
