Constantly pursing a passion builds a cycle of highs and lows. Changes in how you structure your time, your wealth; your health. If I am to believe, the most filling life is found when you discover your passion. Then pace that it creates for you and your surroundings is depiction of nothing more than the human experience. The hills however, get harder to climb, the deeper the journey goes. And like how many stories go, those are moments you learn if you will overcome; or break. This piece is a retelling of the story, through the lens of my experience. The cycles and patterns of life, often become so constant that they almost become stagnant. Stuck in a loop of decision, recourse, decision, recourse, until before long you realize days/weeks/months have passed by. The contrast in the highs and lows, feel like black ink to an empty page. Strict lines of BLACK and WHITE become the only divide of the cycle of experiences faced in each moment. Until it all comes to an end. Swept through like a vibrant wave, breaking the dichotomy. The end to the cycle becomes an experience of its own. One so unique to what you have known before, the only way you have left to describe it is by what it is not. When LIVING IN BLACK AND WHITE, you are only left with DYING IN COLOR.
