“Solitude gives birth to the original in us, to beauty unfamiliar and perilous – to poetry. But also, it gives birth to the opposite: to the perverse, the illicit, the absurd.”
― Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Tales
On one hand there’s light, on the other, there’s the dark.
On one hand the inviting quiet, on the other, buzzing desolation.
Which side do you subscribe to?

I believe the existence of light is because of the dark, and vice versa – I’d choose both – not either.

How on earth are you so brilliant with your hand?? I SUCK AT DRAWING; PAINTING AND ANYTHING THAT INVOLVES BEING CREATIVE … Its beautiful sweetie. And I would any day opt for the dark given the element of mystery and my obsession with my zodiac
