“It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt,
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills,
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien
“It’s getting colder now and the darkness consumes me.
Depression is slowly creeping up.
Maybe one day you’ll actually care about me.”

The darkness can be your enemy, with all predators hidden beyond it. The darkness can be your friend, when you need to hide from your enemies.
And sometimes the darkness is your only comfort when you think that everything is lost.

This one touched a personal nerve. The darkness is indeed a friend and enemy, even when it’s difficult to tell which is more prominent when you’re there.
Great choice of quotes & beautiful picture

Wonderful quotes. It’s great how darkness can be both frightening and beautiful. We need the darkness to enjoy the light. As once said by your awesome friend “There comes a day after every dark night, count the stars in the night to enjoy the heat of the sunlight”. Everyone has their dark times but no matter how bad the time is, there are always life lessons we can pick out. Another similarity found between us (love for quotes), kya aap jasoosi kar rahe ho meri hahah. Jokes apart, great work.

Yeah! It’s right… darkness is my friend and my enemy too… to know the correct value and care of a friend I must need a poking enemy.
