One dark night

Life is one long night, the journey that is.

This journey called life, they say don't take it for granted it's a gift. Doesn't matter who or what you believe in. It's a gift not to be wasted. It's all the unknown. Whether you believe in a higher power or the Big Bang theory or why not both? The bottom line is life is surviving in the forest on your own in a dark night. There is only one way out. Either you have faith and feed your guardians or your demons. Whichever you chose is how you set the pace for this journey. So which is your reality now?
