Every light and airy romance story has a darker side to it. There’s the conflict, the drama, the poor choices, the secrets, the problem, the doubts. The list could go on. It could be another person, the protagonist him or herself, an outside situation, an accident, a natural disaster, or whatever else a creative writer can come up with.
This parallels life in a way. For every positive action that is taken, a negative one happens somewhere. Each day the sun joins us, the moon has to leave. Yin and Yang. Balance. Karma. Whatver you want to call it, it’s here.
What you’ll find on this page are thoughts, reports, and general ruminations over the darker side of life, from a generally optimistic person’s perspective. Remember, the light can only shine so brightly because of the darkness.
