Shadow dates way back to the year 2003, created by a teenager going through some depressing times. He created "shadowism" for those that didnt bother to listen to everything they were told. Infact he called himself Shadow and so did all his peers around him because he had the courage to stand up for what he believed in. He questioned Messiah's existence and many other things. The word "shadow" then evolved from being an atheist and a religion to everyday language describing something "original." Also, when a person is called a shadow they are seen as a strong person that stands on their own two feet without the help of any man. It then evolved and branched off to "shadow life" which is a life where a person makes their own beliefs and find answers for themselves. In which they search for their own truth.
