Darkness

Ten years ago, I posted this photo with no pretensions at all, simply as a way to express a landscape and a feeling I had at that moment. Who would have thought that a decade later, I’d be here, completely in love with everything I’ve created?

​Over these last 10 years, so much has happened. What started as a way to cope with depression at 20 eventually became a part of who I am. I never needed to explain exactly how I felt; my edits and my words always spoke for themselves, making my emotions clear the moment they were shared.

​Throughout this decade, I’ve met new people, let go of others, fell in love, and had regrets. I lost my grandmother, who was my main support system, and finally, last year, I managed to forgive myself and be reborn. I’ve reached a new, permanent version of myself one that no one can tear down.

​For ten years now, my purpose of giving a new meaning to "darkness" has been working. I never did this for follower counts, money, or anything of the sort. Everything I’ve created has been with love, affection, and soul. Currently, I use AI as a tool for image generation, but I’ve never stopped taking photos of landscapes because I make a point of capturing the raw feeling of the moment, whether it’s good or bad and I never will stop.

​If I could go back in time, I would tell that 20-year-old "darkness": "We made it. Don’t give up. I know it hurts so much right now, but you will find the strength. We’ll deal with the grief, one step at a time. But trust me, it will be worth it."

​And a phrase for me to never forget, and for you reading this: "Life is a climb, but the view is great!"

​Thank you for every bit of support, every like, every comment, every private conversation, and for never letting go of my hand. I am eternally grateful to each one of you! Here’s to 10, 20, 30 more years.

​Darkness will never die; darkness will live forever!
