Light and Darkness, two opposing forces. A bold indifference to the vast array of color being their sole commonality. And yet, there is Gray. The marriage of these polar opposites amidst the spectrum of Light births a new cavalcade of shades. These Gray colors reflect the best of both worlds. This, as all things do, speaks of life. From the light Gray joys of laughter to the dark times of displeasure, life too is on a boundless spectrum. Happiness is thought of as a place, the end of strife and birth of peace. But the Light of your life is truly the days forgotten. The sun was never brighter, wide smiles made the world a treat, and it was always the first bite of chocolate. The Darkest times of our lives are often thought to be in grief. But what time will truly be darker than our last? Such is the human condition, left to play with the pieces remaining. Dreading all the way that final day, ever longing for years passed. It is better to approach the shades as inquisitor of their teachings. For all men have feared the Darkness— and curiosity is the death of fear.

My name is Alax actually. Thanks, yeah I was struggling with the formatting of the website last night but I think I have more accurate themes on it now. Happy to be here doing what I seem to love. Or at least always end up doing when I try to write.
