You can't always be positive. In reality if you were positive all of the time, how could people truly accept the truth of your character? They couldn't.
Life is wonderfully balanced. So to be truly positive you have to experience substantial negatives as well. That's simply the way in which the world works. As Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." I think that really applies here as well.
In my life, I try and keep my writing pretty positive and optimistic because I am out in this world to help others love extraordinarily and maybe, just maybe, something I talk about will help someone bring some light into their heart. For years I've been ready to pull a lesson or learning point out of even the worst circumstances to help evoke others. But what I want to share with you is that I am not constantly positive. Actually I don't ever force myself to be because that only creates inauthenticity.
I have awfully dark moments and days at times. In reality the greater I deeply love with everything I have, the more deeply I feel agony, hurt, loss, and everything else that can make your hands quiver when it comes about. I feel those things now more than I ever have before. The liquefying of a cold heart so many years ago has exposed it to be naked, vulnerable, and gives it the capacity to feel everything intensely.
So sometimes, writing something that's hopeful, is actually me fighting as tough as I'm able to to keep a good outlook on life. Actually, some days are a lot harder than others. Some days, I feel just like I'll just barely breath.
Over the years, I've learnt to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I really am so lucky to have that. So if you're wrestling, just know, I struggle too.
I struggle hard. And with all of that, I love hard.
