Halloween Party

So we had a party today at my house. I'm basically going to let the pictures speak for themselves.

The Dark and the Light

Lately, I've been feeling a little out of sorts, which is a little odd, since I just sent in my mission papers. (Frankly I think the suspense is killing me.) Anyway, I've been feeling for a long time that there are two people inside of me battling for my actions and I'm not sure who's winning. Well, tonight I re-read this poem that a friend of mine wrote entitled "The Dark and the Light". I thought I would share it with you all. I hope he doesn't mind.

Within ourselves, we have two sides,

One fights for us, and the other one lies.

They're constantly fighting without any rest,
For one instant's weakness brings the other one's best.
They'll battle and bicker for all eternity,
But you are the power, the secret, the key.
Without you, they're nothing, and neither will win.
For they're fighting battles with nothing but tin.
From you comes the metal, the unbridled power,
With a nod of your head that great power does flower.
The choice is just yours, no other can make it.
For others would see your great power and take it.
I hope you choose wisely, for if you choose wrong,
The consequence is pain, and the pain does last long.
So don't just be blind, your thoughts do not bind,
For others will definitely not be so kind.
The side that you favor will always succeed,
For you are the general; don't follow. You lead.

Whilst reading that I realized that I couldn't let myself be overcome by this depression that was threatening to overtake me. I knew I had to choose the better side. Although I've been trying to support the light, I now wonder if, subconsciously I was actually supporting the other side. So that's my new goal. To only support the better side, and hopefully come out of this funk that I'm stuck in.
