Losing Your Light...

The worst thing that could possibly happen is losing the light in your eyes when the eyes are the window to your soul. You laugh, but for some people their eyes are how their true emotions are noticed. By those people who know them but don't know them super well a 'what's wrong?' with a half hearted answer of 'nothing, I'm just tired' will do. But for those people who really know you, like know that your about to think about possibly sneezing before your body ever registers it kind of knows you, your eyes are their best weapon toward you. My own eyes?! You ask, horrifEYED. Yes, your own eyes. They will use your eyes against you and the conversation you just had with someone who kind of knows you, that you were able to away with a false answer doesn't go the same.
 It goes something like this. "What's wrong?" "Nothing, I'm just tired." *friend stares intently into your eyes* "What did he/she do?" And your friends know exactly what is going on, or have a roughly constructed idea of what is going on, simply by glancing into your eyes for a moment or two.
The worst thing that could happen is for you to lose your light in your eyes. Now, if you have friends that don't pay attention to your eyes or you never had bright eyes to begin with, don't sweat it! They won't notice, but that also means you most likely won't notice; which is not always a good thing. On the other hand, if you have friends that pay acute attention to your eyes and you do carry your emotions on your sleeve and you every thought whether it is heartbreak, happiness, excitment, fear, exhaustion, or loss of hope registers in your eyes You. Are. Screwed. (I happen to be one of those people)
 It doesn't matter whether you say you are fine, and you actually THINK and BELIEVE you are fine. Once your friends get a glance at your eyes, it is ALL OVER! They will know almost immediately whether something is wrong with you, whether they know what it is right away, well that all depends on the friend. My best friend, will give me one chance to explain whats wrong and then when I lie and say 'I'm fine' she turns to the eyes and decides on her own.

When you lose your light, sometimes even you don't realize it. You need to be reignited, sometimes it takes an afternoon, a weekend, a nap, or a few weeks. Either way you need to be reignited, something the flame that comes back in them is dim compared to previous flames, sometimes the flame comes back brighter, and sometimes it takes the same person who blew out the flame to reignite it. More often than not, that is the case, but sometimes you need to carry your own lighter. Find things that make smile, a favorite memory, picture, or band. Something that you share with friends or just with yourself.
 But never let yourself go dark for long, the longer you're dark the colder it gets and the harder it is get lit up again. For yourself, not for your friends, or that special someone only for yourself don't let yourself lose you light because your light is part of yourself. If you don't believe me, go and look in the mirror, do you eyes look dull or do you need some hot volunteer firemen to keep the inferno in your eyes under control?
