The happy place

I am in the city.

Just got a package from my aunt — the kind one — and therein I found birthday gifts for myself.

One was with a black panther printed on a blue T-Shirt. I am wearing it now. It’s a little bit tight but that’s OK; some people think wearing tight clothes is sexy.

It’s a very thoughtful gift. I like cool motives like feral beasts or of the occult. It’s the darkness I’ve got churning deep inside.

I think denying the darkness is dangerous. It’s false to pretend and the biggest, most dangerous lies are the ones we tell ourselves just to get by.

On the other hand: deep introspection, looking inwards at the darkness is blinding, like looking straight at the sun. There’s danger.

It’s the yin-yang. That’s the solution.

It’s a challenge to face the sky when you need to walk the narrow path, however: if you stumble, there’s an abyss waiting, or a hole deep enough to drown in.
