The dark is an overwhelming sensation of boredom. Though most people don't see it this way, I believe that boredom is a dangerous thing- it can, and will, hold you back from progressing- which might lead you to regretting that you wasted so much time. I push the dark by searching for new music.

I connect with your definition of the dark in a lot of ways. A lack of purpose has been the source of a host of bad habits, deterrent of self-betterment, and general onset of depression and unhappiness.

I have always been so afraid of facing that feeling. You hear about how so many people go through it everyday. Though some days I do slightly skim the surface of not knowing my purpose. I guess it's why I am currently trying to find something I am good at. To stay self motivated.

I don't think it's about finding what you're good at, so much taking the time to become good at something, and not giving up before the effort and practice start paying off.
