More.

He wants more.

Like a seductive snake, darkness has clouded his mind and bathed every single thought in endless greed and an insatiable thirst for power.

i know a lot of people know may 4th to be international star wars day (may the force be with you!!) 

but in my country, it is the anniversary of our liberation from the control and occupation of hitler’s nazi germany. it is the day we light candles and put them in our windows.

when freedom finally arrived on may 4th 1945, the blackout curtains/blinds that people had been forced to use for 5 long years were ripped down from the windows and mass burned in the streets. not only did the countless of “bonfires” light up the streets, where people were hugging and dancing, but every citizen decided to light candles and put them on every window sill in their home, bringing light back into their lives. 

the candles signify a future of brighter day to come as well as deep mourning for the many lives lost.

it has been a tradition ever since ♡ happy may 4th ♡
