    I absolutely loved this experiment. I feel like I relate with you so much in different ways. In my journey in my life growing up as my emo preppy skater boy self. I unfortunately got into the wrong scene snd started doing hard drugs at the age of 17 which lead me to be homeless and in and out jail about a dozen times. Watching you go through this experience I could see so many different characteristics and actions that come when feeling Darkness in a different sence. Meaning like something will never end or why did I put myself through this and the thoughts your mind play over and over in your head. I can tell you experiences so much reality to what darkness entails even if it’s not the same darkness as another person is going through they all relate in one way or another. Thank you for doing this so people like me can remember there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Here I am 29 years old 6 years away from my darkness living happy. Love you from one entity to another.
