Adeline's stories: Being swallowed by darkness

In every person’s life, there is a choice. To remain the light of their own life or to choose darkness… This choice is not merely a fork in the road, but a reflection of how we perceive ourselves and the world around us. Light is not always the radiance of happiness; sometimes it is the quiet flame of resilience that burns despite the storms. Darkness, in turn, is not necessarily evil or despair; at times, it is a refuge for those seeking peace in the depths of their own shadows. We do not choose between good and evil, but between motion and stagnation, between the struggle for meaning and submission to chaos. And in this choice, there is no ultimate truth—only an endless journey where each step illuminates a new facet of our soul.
