When you turn off the lights, it becomes dark.
Someone that I am very close to said this to me the other day and it really stuck.
She was referring to a simple light switch, but I took the broader view and realized that this simple statement could be about life as well.
For a while, I turned off my lights, and it was indeed dark. I narrowed my world to seeking security and forgot about all the things that make life precious and interesting.
It’s easy to turn off the light; it is far harder to turn it back on. Once that switch goes ‘off’ it becomes hard to find it in the dark. We run our hand up and down the wall in the place where we think the switch should be, but can’t seem to find it. Life is like that.
I had some help in finding that switch.
I have been getting in touch with friends from my past and socializing again. I have been riding my bicycle and going to the gym. I have been trying to get out more and do things that I have not done in a long while.
I feel the light coming back on.
