You can get used to the dark. So much so, that you may forget what the light looks like. Dark becomes familiar, comforting even, and you a captive within it.
Since earlier this year, we have been almost imprisoned due to coronavirus. And it has been a dark time, even during summer.
New habits have been forced upon people and many have adapted to ways of life that are not familiar. Lockdown feels unnatural, against our human nature and there has been rebellion against the experience of almost solitary confinement.
This year, most people have gone through a prism of emotions. It's why a sense of hope and light is so important as we head into the Christmas and New Year period.
