Shot in the Dark

Three years ago I traded his ass in for a shot in the dark, and trust me—it was dark as fuck when I left him.

I was emotional and blind trying to navigate myself out of a blackout. Eventually light showed up in the form of new faces, relationships and opportunities, one by one. Slowly my life got brighter as days passed. It wasn’t completely noticeable at first, things would flicker before they became any type of solid source of light. Some wouldn’t stay lit, certain moments still seemed dim, but I’d push forward—it was my only choice. At least the darkness wasn’t so dark anymore, I was making progress.

Three years later the shot in the dark has led to a bright future, filled with dozens of people I would have never met, places I would’ve never seen, experiences I would’ve never had and a life I would’ve never known.

I got LEDs for days.
