Today is Halloween.
Waking up at 6am to head out to work and seeing the sunrise and taking a snap of it to now sitting in the train back home with sunset to my right, it feels really nothing different or special. But one thing different is that people are dressed and roaming the streets as "monsters". Kids trick-or-treating to adults gathering in their costumes and reminisce and re-live their childhood, it is an "occasion".
Is it a sunrise or sunset? Taken in the morning around 8am in the office.
One thing that I started to notice is that Halloween is not really upholding its origins, but maybe that's a good thing. Halloween, the Celtic tradition of warding off the ghost. Maybe what we are trying to ward off is the fear of loneliness and maybe simplicity.
I struggle deeply with this concept as well. Last night when I've realize that my life might be really simple. Maybe all the parties and limelight that my close friends and acquaintances are having might be the issue. Dreaming of what I can what I could be haunting me.
Simple black and white photo can tell a lot of story. Without being so noisy.
So tonight I sit with my close friends and shut the noises that is haunting me out. Sitting in he simplicity and enjoying the small noises that my life is whispering to me. Not looking at the high limelight and dreams that faces me. Not letting the overwhelming truth consume me. But moving one step forward at a time.
