Choosing The Bright

I need to share.

This is about relation.

This is the correlation between the dark and bright.

This is about me, a guy who takes photographs of anything. This is about when I stumble, lost with no inspiration. But I soon find myself seeking for the 'answer.' It boils down to me whether I want to start searching for it.

What happens when someone chooses to take a chance in the light? For instance, being stuck in a cave - it's pitch black. I would be in desperation for light - because I'll know that there is still a way of surviving.. I might even be joyous at the sight of a torchlight. Of course I'd be risking life trying to find a way out. But at least I've gotten my spirit back.

I often doubt the actions that I do..
I often question myself when I'm going through a rough patch - "Will I ever get out of this? How long is this going to last? What if I decide to work this out but still fail?"

I guess that it can be concluded that in many bad areas in life, there's always a sign of hope. And it is whether you and I want to believe in that hope. Whithersoever there is dark, surely you can find hope. Or it might just find you out. And talk about not believing in yourself? I think this quote does it all;
“We do not believe in ourselves until someone reveals that deep inside us something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, spontaneous delight or any experience that reveals the human spirit.”
-E. E. Cummings

As usual, I'm open to all comments & criticism. Please feel free to ask me about anything concerning the photographs taken.
