The City That Outgrew Its Shadows
When Fear Could No Longer Hide
At first, shadows in the city behaved normally, stretching at dusk and shrinking at dawn. But as years passed, something changed. People began confronting truths they had avoided—apologies spoken, limits accepted, desires admitted quietly. The shadows responded by growing thinner, paler, until one evening they no longer appeared at all. Without shadows, the city felt exposed, unfamiliar. Yet people slept more peacefully. Fear, it seemed, needs darkness to survive.

Different Aspects Of Life Different Hobbies
When we look at our lives and how different they are from one year to the next or even from one season to the next what happens? We live differently. We look at the aspects in our lives that have changed and how it has happened. We even look at our hobbies in our lives and how they have changed in order for us to live the way that we do, today. For example in school our hobbies might be playing with a certain toy or doing certain extra curricular activities. As we grow older though it might be going out with friends or shopping. As we get older still it might be fitness or traveling or doing some sort of on the side business. As life changes our aspects of life change because our needs and wants change, too. As we live life the way we do the aspects of it will change. That is what makes hobbies what they are and why they are so much fun. When we look at how we are living our lives do we look at it in a way of just living to work or living to actually live? I think we look at it in the way of living to actually live and that is where the different aspects and hobbies come into play in life.
