Darkness swallows everything, even pain. That’s what makes it so tempting. Comforting. It disguises weakness as strength.

C.M. Rayne
About This Quote

The darkness of night can be a powerful force. It can swallow us up and make us feel weak and vulnerable. The darkness of night allows us to lose sight of the light and the strength that comes from within. In this quote, the author is making a point about how powerful darkness is as a tool for hiding our flaws and making us feel as if we are strong when we are really not. We choose to embrace the darkness of pain because it hides our weakness from the world, but instead, we should live in search of the light that will make us strong.
