Conquering


Art: Wanderer Above the Sea of Fog by Caspar David Friedrich : 1818

The image says it all really. Conquering something is a really great feeling. Whether its completing milestones in life - finishing college, successful acquisitions - or simply getting over an addiction.

You're on top of the world! Now what?

Dark Days

Art: A Storm in the Rocky Mountains by Albert Bierstadt : 1866

Honestly, I just "like" this piece. It is not among my stronger "loves". However, it fits so well with how I'm feeling now.

Do you ever feel that you're stuck at a place in life where nothing good seems to be happening? There's no more good news, but you keep getting bad ones. And I know people always say you can be in a worst situation, and I agree with that, but that phrase doesn't seem to make you feel any better.

The point is you're in a "dark" place and sadness may be overwhelming, but I suppose the good news is that there is a calm/brighter day after a storm. So, that's something to hold on to (hopefully).
