"Flying from light to dark"

The following text is my participation in a project called 240". More details about it you can find here and you can read the original greek version of the text here.

The good moments and the bad, like light and dark. The good and the bad inside us, like the sun and the shade. The day and the night. White and black. Like the black words on the white backround of the page. And there, in between, I exist too like everyone else.

There, in between, I'm living and balancing, once in the light and once in the dark. My past, my present, my future. People, feelings, lyrics, music, words are going through my life and my mind on a daily basis. I'm burned by the light and I'm smother by the dark. And other times the light nourishes me and the dark scares me.

That's life... white light and black dark. And from there words are born.

Because life is for flying away from grey. Grey that has only a few words inside it.

"Almost"

This is the original text and photo which were my participation in a project called "25th Hour".You can learn more about the project here and my text in its greek version here.

Most of us "almost" live our lives. We "almost" love, we "almost" work, we "almost" laugh, we are "almost" ourselves, we "almost" live.

And this way life passes, people enter and exit our lives, things happen and experiences are documented in the hard disc of our minds.

Until that moment comes, when everything is falling into place and something magical happens: you're finally ready to live. You feel comfortable and strong enough that the hour has come, the 25th hour, to do everything you were afraid of doing and live the life that you really wanted to. 

Years pass and life is short, so at that magic moment you're deciding that you're going to truly live: you're going to love, taste, smile, pay attention to the beautiful things around you, you're going to feel happy that you're breathing, you're going to create, notice the small things that give a pinch of color in life, you're going to be yourself, express your feelings, be free, look at the sky and think that this is just the beginning!
