I would like to take a walk on the dark side.

I think I’m bad at dreaming, because I die every other time I do it. When you find out what a joy it is to live, you learn what it’s like to be afraid. Now I’m older and manly, so I’m scared of being scared. But scared is natural. It’s the self imposed darkness of sleep that brings either nightmares or dream escapes. Uncertainty leads to fear. Fear leads to a lot of things. A fear your nightmare will come true. A fear your dream wont. Before you can cross a fear, you have to build a bridge from underneath it. Before you can bask in summer’s gaze, you have to trudge through winter’s discontent. You have to embrace the darkness before you’re born once, and before you’re born again. Soulstice.

[If only you knew the power of the dark side.]
