On Dark Times

Recently I have developed a metaphor for dark times as traveling through a tunnel hoping to exit the dark and closed off tunnel. In this tunnel, your mind is locked in by the walls and it is dark and it is hard to see. The question is not, whether or not there is a light at the end of the tunnel but rather where is the light relative to where you are. I should develop this metaphor a bit more but haven't had times. Regardless I feel a lot of optimism rising after all my studying and my test performance which hopefully reality will not put down. Maybe I have already come out of the dark tunnel, I just merely still have my eyes shut.
