At night when it is quiet, I put on my coat and stroll through the park in my area. The darkness comforts me and I feel a strange sense of peace. Of belonging. I wait in a familar setting overlooking the place I first went to school. Seems fitting that I should choose to look for my destiny in a place that holds the past. I look at the moon and the stars, praying that I will be swept away. I wonder exactly when my destiny will confront me, and when I can finally stop living a lie. Pretending to be consumed in relationships with friends only distracts me for so long until i lay awake at night and feel my sorrow.
I feel as though I am floating. Stuck in limbo with my life. Every day I wake up to the realization that I am merely treading water. My days are long and tedious. My nights are longer still, as I restlessly search for something which is present in a dream i keep having. When i wake up I cannot clearly see what I am searching for night after night, although I know that it is my destiny. I know that things lurk in the darkness yet night after night i stroll through it endlessly. I am looking for a release from the normal daytime world which is plagued with distractions. I know that the daytime world has a mirror image which is plagued in shadow yet all my attempts to break through have failed. I feel as though I am staring through an hourglass. Peering in from light into dark, all the while my life drains into the basin like grains of sand. So I work from day to day only to continue my true search which plagues my sleepless nights like a hunter stalking its prey.

I understand what it is you are saying. I also have a search that haunts me from night to night.
I have really enjoyed your journal entries.
liked it..:)
I really like these words. Especially your view on the hourglass. I'm not staring through mine though. Mine is glued to the table.

The darkness is comforting, but please remember that you are never alone.

I think all of here find peace in darkness. I know I do.
