No, it is not off topic. I have a mean assed, therapy resistant light trigger. The PTSD roots for it are well-documented. Sorting. . .
In dualistic metaphor, Light = Good and Dark = Bad.
In physical fact, light and dark are highly subjective. I have excellant night sight and am frequently amazed at what is commonly called, "Dark." You honestly can't see natural night lights? I'm so sorry. You are missing quite a show!!!
Then we get to artistic contrast. BIG subject!!
What does physical light and physical dark mean to you? No metaphoring around, please.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
Light is too ugly for me. I see things in the light i dont like. I love the risk of the night time.
Dont know if this is answering what ur saying but hey.
Physical dark, which of course is the reverse of shadows in light, it is light in shadow and it signals distance and placement.
so light and dark are how I know where and when I am.
literally and in the flashback zone as well.
my vision of my actual physical space, when I begin to flash becomes blurry and/or darkening around the circular view I have.
so light to me is definition of where I am, where things are in both time and place~
Night time thunderstorms and snow and wind are my element of comfort completely. The light is too exposing and judgmental for me while in my depression.
I've shared with other brothers and sisters in healing who use light to orient themselves in the flashback zone. It seemed to work really well for them.
Alas, the blinding lights and corresponding shadows of child pornography stage sets, gang rape beneath farm security lights and a few other etceteras disabled that pearl for me. Ah, those pesky details. . .
