The Light by Natalia Angel

I was getting closer to my destination
with every step I took. This feeling , this atmosphere and the tones of nature – everything was pushing me towards the unknown.  Why do people choose to live a life full of agony, pain and misery? Life strikes us every day, but its up to us to  acknowledge the problem and try  solving it instead of forcing ourselves towards despair. I knew this, but still,  I was  baffled. I stood in the middle of nowhere, but at the same time I felt as I was the center of this Universe.  No doubt- the Universe contributes to us. It send us messages all the time , but we don’t perceive them. Maybe the anguish that we need to overcome from time to time is just the way of paying for happiness? We struggle and suffer to be rewarded at the end.  I continued walking along the shore, contemplating about the state of happiness.  I was telling myself : I need to smile, I need to put that grin on.  But I couldn’t, The sun was going down. So was I – the world chewed me and spat me out. The hues of the sunset added hope, but as colors started to fade , my moodiness was back on. I breathed in the darkness and started to move on. Darkness was not for me. I needed hope, so I followed the light.
