In a moment of clarity I've come to the conclusion that we are all just candles flickering in the dark.
Some candles are bigger than others, some have better wax than others and some emanate a beautiful light.
Some candles smoulder a lot longer than others. Some burn brighter, some burn faster.
Some insist on displaying a small light for a long time and some more light for less time. Some revel in a warm combination of the two.
The type of candle you want to be is entirely up to you - we all have our personal preferences.
Whisper it proudly - there is no shame in the comfort of longevity.
But the brighter you burn, the more you see, the more you enjoy what's in the dark - more than someone happy to introvertly desocialise from it.
And so what if you burn out a little?
Embracing the darkness once in a while sure beats the mundane security of fading away into empty obscurity.
After all, when it all boils down to it, we are all just candles flickering in the dark.
