I need the dark to see the light.

 

Because of the different cultures that are a part of me, I belong to many groups but none at the same time. This causes a feeling of restlessness and brings me into the night. In here, I wander and pass by the dark feelings of loneliness on one hand. But I also see the hope and temptation that light and color can bring.

 

This is a reminder of how beautiful loneliness can be.
