I decided to take my night stroll and I noticed something and decided to take a picture without showing I was taking a picture because it was late and the streets ain't safe but hehe, a boy gonna take a walk to clear his mind. This picture is a little blurry because I had to take it once, hide my phone, and turn it back. It was funny how I was attracted to the light far off and turned back when I got closer. But when I think about it now I picture my life, and the people In my life. I also picture those who tried coming into my life but for some reason, I didn't want them. But above all, I thought about those who never wanted me to be in their life.
I decided to turn back because I knew as beautiful as that place was with all the decorations and loud music and celebration, it was not for me. My street decided to have a get together, I was hearing about it and decided to check it out as I took my stroll, it turned out there were a lot of people eating, drinking, and doing everything people do in a club lol. It's the weekend right now, and I should try to look for a place to chill and socialize. But then I looked and saw the man I've become and the man I wish to be can not be found in such an environment. Moreso, the people I wish to meet would not be in such an environment, so I didn't think twice about going back to where I came from.
What's the need of being in a place where I would have to be looking over my shoulders whether someone is trying to steal from me? What's the point of being in a place where I would be in fear of the unknown full of so many uncertainties because I do not trust anyone? So turning back from this beautiful site was as necessary as I could have it. Somehow this simple picture shows that even the light at the end of the tunnel can be worse than the darkness you've been in, and until you know and are sure of what is beyond you, never bring your guard down.
They say a picture speaks a thousand words, and like any picture, this speaks the old saying Not all that glitters… the lights were certainly glittering all over, and you could see the beauty and hear the music a mile away, but until you come close and see the activities taking place there for yourself, do not say you want to be there because even dager can be beautiful and kill. My neighbor who went to the party came back crying that her phone was stolen from her back pocket even though she didn't drink. I couldn't help feeling sorry for her and wondering what would have happened if I had proceeded.
