Dark thoughts
So our power went out about 3am.
As I get up to find candles 🕯️ to put out just incase the kids wake 👀and they don’t panic, I tell myself…..
we are SPOILED. Being able to just flick the light on 💡when we walk in a room, or let’s talk about the quiet, we sleep with a fan 🪭 on and when it goes off you know, even when you’re dead asleep. 💤
And we have the privilege to call and they fix it for thousands of people asap.
We as a society have lost sight of the things that really matter. We are so caught up in all this over the top technology, money, fame, power and we don’t even take into consideration that what we need is light to lead us down the path to anything.
I just have to say I am on a whole other level of gratefulness to have what I have.
This world is getting crazy and soon enough we will see what we should really be grateful for.

Power outages can serve as a wake-up call to many of us, prompting a deeper reflection on our everyday comforts. The sudden absence of electricity disrupts our modern lifestyle, reminding us of the fundamental resources we often take for granted. In a world increasingly dependent on technology and constant connectivity, these moments of darkness can magnify our appreciation for simple pleasures—like the gentle hum of a fan while we sleep or the ability to instantly turn on a light. Historically, electricity has transformed our lives, enabling seamless workflows and enriching our entertainment options. However, when power goes out, it forces us to live in the moment, sometimes sparking creativity or encouraging us to reunite with family in candlelight. Such experiences lead to a profound sense of community; we may share stories or find calm in collective uncertainty. The psychological impact of losing power for a brief period can also allow for a unique perspective. People are often compelled to reconsider their priorities and what brings joy or security in their lives. Acknowledging that we are 'spoiled' can serve as a catalyst for gratitude, prompting us to re-evaluate our reliance on superficial elements like fame or wealth. Instead, we can turn our focus to the things that genuinely enhance our lives—relationships, health, and, most importantly, a roof over our heads. In summary, power outages might seem like an inconvenience, but they often awaken a deeper appreciation for the bright moments in our lives, inviting us to rethink our values and priorities.
