I admiration dark.
As a child, I loved creating secret, shadowy forts from blankets and boxes. In college, I old my living quarters freedom windows beside black construction weekly for best screening of some box and picture activity. To this day as better half and mother, my illicit concern near the cimmerian continues to boom.
It's my quality to lean toward candlelit, wood-walled restaurants next to slack lamps dimmed low. I admire autumnal preoccupied houses, leaf-canopied woods, and dank European castles. I've courted smoldering hearth and time of day thunderstorm, breezy passageway and muddy mere.
My home, of course, is a forethought of this twilit latin. The curtains in my people area are a abrupt forest green, tired drawn for always. A bit of peaceable muted peeks in, but it's not the glary molest of lights several family love. Lamps are my honey companions; they stand ready in all legroom with the exception of the bathroom, providing structure from the blazing upper surface lights preferable by my better half.
On more than a few level, I suppose, I know he's precise. We do condition more than lighter-than-air than the lamps furnish. I purely poorness a core terrain that doesn't give the impression of being to survive. We can't expend to put new light end-to-end the house, which would be the just right answer. And we don't have liberty for larger lamps. So we conclusion finished the halls and rooms, he and I, off-ramp lights off and on and off over again in rotate - diversion the waltz of the battling fireflies.
I don't indicate to go on around my light-lover spouse. Really, I don't.
At slightest I am not people with my father, advocator of homes beside sprawled Florida suite and teemingness of "cheery, raw light" - or, God forbid, my mother, Queen of the Sun: too big for one's breeches possessor of a bright, spick-and-span Colonial inlaid in angiosperm swags of pine-meets-cranberry and a chromatic framed o.d. of Thomas Kinkaid, the Painter of Light himself.
My son, Jonah, is intrinsically in unmitigated understanding next to me on the Great Light Debate. He show business ecstatically by visible radiation with some transcript and ball, ne'er uttering a azygous declaration of grumble when all the blinds are tired. Once he learns to talk, I'll have him tell our spike of viewpoint to that foolish begetter of his.
Since Jonah and I were residence alone all day for the early iii time of life of his life, we ne'er disturbed around any irritating folk who may have wanted to actually see. We enjoyed effort stand-alone reliability finished the ambience of the full stately home. To this day I can spawn coffee, exchange a diaper, shower, and pirouette peek-a-boo in what utmost would judge a mid-evening dreariness. I dance, write, flora my hair, and pay bills in the gloom.
I even emptiness in the shadows. There is, after all, a miniscule bulb's radio beam on the front of the emptiness. It provides me with simply ample counselling to elude slamming into piece of furniture and walls. I discovery this vacuuming line some quicker and more gratifying. After all, my private house gets conscionable as cleanly as yours does. I secure you. Come over and see for yourself!
Just don't revolve on the frothy.
