Van, the pic is just a few weeks old..lol I am 37 and it is in deep cold winter I am on my way to feed the animals
believe me I have wrinkles you just cannot see them in the pic lol
My love relationship with the dark means exactly what you said there Van. I use dark blue light blocker glasses after 6 PM and also only candles or reddish salt lamps (15 watt only) I use f.lux on my screens and turn the screen darker and use the blueblockers too if I need to be on the computer after sunset.
I shower in candlelight - it is very sensual

the natural darkness makes me think and contemplate more, gives me insights about stuff that troubles me etc., I think about it as a gift today. I love it! It is like something in me have changed, now the dark never bother me at all, I crave it instead.
Just as much I crave the daylight and sun when the sun is up.
It is like I crave more of nature alltogether, and it makes me very, very happy
