From the moment he was just a month old, the young soul had lived in complete darkness.
Confined in a place without sunlight or warmth, he grew up knowing only the quiet presence of shadows.
It was all he had to rely on—his only sense of safety. But that fragile sense of security shattered the moment light poured in for the first time.
The change was instant and overwhelming. Brightness filled the space, revealing a world he had never seen. Instead of comfort, it brought panic.
His body trembled, unsure of what this new reality meant. The light, often seen as a symbol of hope, felt to him like a threat—an unknown force pushing into the only home he had ever known.
He shrank from it at first, his eyes unprepared and his mind flooded with confusion. The light cast unfamiliar shapes on the walls, exposing him to things that felt too sharp, too sudden.
Fear overtook curiosity, and the place that had once offered shelter now felt like something else entirely.
But slowly, his eyes began to adjust. Outlines emerged from the brightness, and what was once blinding started to make sense.
For the first time, colors appeared. The world was no longer just shadow—it was layered with texture and meaning. Yet even with this new perspective, the fear lingered.
It wasn’t easy to let go of the only life he had ever known.
He stood at the edge of two realities—one shaped by silence and shadow, the other by light and uncertainty. His journey was not just about sight, but about emotion, memory, and the strength it takes to leave behind the familiar.
This moment of transition, though filled with fear, carried with it the promise of growth. From darkness, he was pulled into something new—not yet safe, not yet known, but filled with the possibility of change.
And with each step forward, the once-terrifying light began to feel a little more like hope.
