late dawns and early sunsets

driving to makkah this morning, we saw the most amazing sunrise. it was really picture perfect. the rays of the sun shining out over the mountains, the gilded clouds...

are you a sunrise or a sunset kind of person?? i could never decide; i love them both too much.


sunrises are gorgeous. they are full of hope, of endless possibilities. they are the start of every day when everything is fresh and new and unwritten. oh, and they remind me of mountains, though i'm not sure why.


sunsets are just as beautiful, but it's more of a melancholic beauty. they're a testament that everything must come to an end. no one day - good or bad - can go on forever. they're proof endings aren't always a bad thing. the wider variety of colors signify everything that has been done during the day. like sunrises remind me of mountains, sunsets remind me of the sea.
while sunrises give the opportunity of life, sunsets confirm that life has been lived.

  1. im a sunset person for suree. i think it's because i love the color combinations of pinks and purples and blues, and also the feeling of peace you have because you know the day is over. you can rest when the sun is setting. but when the sun's rising, there're a thousand things that need to get done, a whole day ahead of you.



    alsssoooo. i jusssst finished watching stardust. the cast ensemble was crazy. ian mckellan, robert diniro, claire daines, sienna miller, peter o'toole. etc. i just feel like it was a low budget film and that decreased from it. the story was cute though.
