Black isn't my favorite color but I have a thing for it. Why is that? Because black or anything dark paints a perfect or better image or picture of something.
I am easily identified with dark or black things. Don't even think of getting all spiritual and religious with whatever looks you might wanna display; I am a child of the light.
But in the natural sense, I tend to love a dark and black thing very much, ranging from a dark room, a dark background, a dark mode browser, app, note pad, a black dress, shoes, and the least thing like a black porch.
There were different instances my liking for these things played out very well unconsciously.
I remember walking into a studio last year for a photo session and when I was asked which background I wanted for my photos, I immediately mentioned Black without blinking.
Coming back the next day to get my photos, I realized the photographer changed most of my background to pink, yellow, white. Like what the heck? Such weird combinations. I wasn't angry, that was far from it, all I did was tell them to change all the funny background colors to something a little bit dark if not black entirely.
Of course, I got what I wanted, I like it dark and soft, there is a great feeling that comes with it.
One of the photographers was forced to exclaimed how much I like black when he was exchanging words with his colleague, he asked why I love black, dark, or dim things that much. I told him I don't know because that's the truth, I have no idea why.
Coming to dark mode? Everything you could think of in my phone and PC is in the dark mode. My browsers, applications, and the rest.
I immediately changed my PeakD preface to the dark theme when I first logged in with it.
I used to have problems with my immediate brother when he usually borrows my PC to make use of.
Each time he gets his hands on it, he changes the theme to light because he couldn't work with the dark mode.
Giving these instances shows how much I like black, dark, or dim things, and even atmosphere. Wait, did I mention that I like how the sky suddenly becomes dark in the middle of the day or early morning because it's about to rain? I can't explain how I feel going through those moments or periods, it's always a delightful sight to behold.
I bet you wanna see some clicks of such weather I took some months ago? There you can see them below and tell me what you think lol.
Isn't that sight lovely to behold? I bet it is.
And I don't need anyone to tell me that lol.
Just looking at that dark sky feels so warm and endearing.
What Do You Think Of Darkness?
Should I rephrase that question? What comes into your mind when darkness is being mentioned?
Here permit me to quote scriptures;
KJV: And the earth was without form, and void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
KJV: And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. (Genesis 1:2-3)
The earth was already filled with darkness.
And without this, there wouldn't have been a reason to call forth light.
Darkness gives light its meaning.
You can only tell the beauty of light in the presence of darkness.
What about the moon and the stars? The beauty of those is seen only in the presence of darkness.
Even the beautiful lighting of a Christmas tree and its decorations are seen mostly when it is dark.
So if I was to answer the question, what I think of darkness or what comes to my mind each time the word darkness is mentioned is that it is what gives light its true form or meaning.
Without darkness, we might never appreciate the usefulness or beauty of light.
Can you tell me the usefulness of an electric bulb during the day? Well, it is as good as nothing because it's not even serving a purpose.
Its purpose can only be served in the presence of darkness.
And for those who keep their power or lighting on during the day, you had better save some energy because there is no function of those lighting during the day.
Give it a break! Don't always think evil, each time you hear the word darkness. Though the devil is associated with darkness but it is not always all about the devil and his handiworks.
It's not always all about demons and ghosts.
Darkness has its own use as much as light does.
A little bit of dark or black things wouldn't harm okay?
Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
You can only be tied down by what you believe.
After all, we are but slaves to what we believe.
So when next you come across someone that loves the black color for what it really is, don't give them those evil looks.
It may never be what you think but just an harmless liking for something dim and plain.
Did you miss anything in the article? Maybe something you wanna share or emphasize on? I am very open to it and pretty much available too. Let's talk it out in the comment section, see you around, and thank you for stopping by.
Yeah it might sound weird to people like is she a witch or a practicing witch however they put it, but the funniest thing here is that I love dark things, when I first came into peakd I quickly changed it to dark mode asap!
Because I feel comfortable and relaxed , easy flowing with it.... Same thing applies to my twitter, facebook, what'sapp... even my room so dimmed sometimes I even asked myself why all these dark.... but that's where I find comfort.
So it's totally understandable, is not weird at all!
Hehehe. Looks like we are in this together, I love it dark and dim.
I love my room dark too hahaha. thanks for stopping by.
Dark matter mostly witnesses the creation in the universe. Dark is ancient and the source from which creation takes place. It is completely right to disagree. I share your point of view on the subject.
You said so brightly "we are but slaves to what believes"
Yes. I also appreciate your contribution to this and thanks for stopping by.
First of all I LL like to commend your phone for those bright and clear pictures. Am not a lover of dark room nah😊 but on gadgets, I love dark font it makes everything else pronounced on it.
Heheheh, it's okay.
I love mine dark lol. And thanks for commending my pictures.
You know this right? Dark theme are so good lol
If not that looking at a bright screen makes my head ache, I would not choose the dark mode for any reason
I love to see how all the colors plays out, especially when I am surfing the internet
I want to see the designs, used by the developers
Since I am not good with colors and designs, I prefer to watch others bring it to light
Maybe the fact that you are good with colors makes you comfortable in the dark mode
But I love when the sky changes color during a storm indicating the coming of a downpour
It makes me want to crawl up to bed, and stay there without disturbances 😂
Hehehehe. Yeah, leave the dark mode for most of us that are good with colors lol.
You know the sweetness of gloomy and cloudy weather is second to none.
Hehehe......I already did ooooo
Of course, I do 🥺
darkness... i love it.
and like you - i feel like - come on people - don't take that out of context. just take it for what I'm saying hahahaha
i love a nice cozy dark day when its stormy - but you're safe in side.
most of my clothes are black or grey - and i LOVE them all
there is nothing nicer than a dark dark room, when you are in pain from a headache or ill.
and at night - everything starts over again - from the dark! hehehe
that doesn't mean i dont' appreciate the sun! because - i DOOOOOOOOOOOOO. i'm a sun baby.
but - as you said - there is a purpose and a contrasting effect between both light and dark. love them both :)
I feel you understand me better and yes, there is nothing better than a dark dark room lol.
And of course a stormy but safe atmosphere lol.
I love that too.
You know what Justin loves grey too, most of his clothes are grey.
hehehehe tell my pirate Justin that I miss him and that he will now be called Pirate Greysleeves.
hahahahahaha
Hahahahahaha, Pirate Greysleeves lol, sound cool. I will let him know
Personally I embrace darkness - not in a bad way though, like you I use dark mode for every app that allows dark mode on my phone. Even my brightness is always at the lowest. The dark sky count me in and a dark room - My absolute favorite😂
Seems we have a lot of dark lovers here hehehhe.
I am counting you in already lol.
Awesome😁
