This picture is amazing.

People are like stained-glass windows.  They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in their true beauty is revealed only if there is light from within.  ~Elisabeth Kübler-Ross

I have an obsession with light... and with dark. I love both of them. If it's going to be dark, it has to be a warm kind of dark. If it's going to be light, it has to be a sparkling, clear sort of light.

Light, light, light.

Dark, dark, dark.

Both are my element, which I like.

I know this is sort of a random post, but I found this picture and just had to write about it.

I love the color and how there is light and darkness in it. She is looking forward to what seems to me to be a new day. Her hair is flowing all around her showing her free spirit. She has a strong look about her, making it seem like she's not afraid to be herself.

Although it doesn't look like me, it seems like me. At least it's what I hope to be and strive to be.

I'm reading an 11 book series. The books are all about overcoming evil and slavery and learning to live life. One of the main characters said something that really stuck out to me.
