You can't always be positive. In reality if you were positive all of the time, how could people honestly believe in the validity of your character? They couldn't.
Life is amazingly balanced. In order to be truly positive you must experience significant negatives as well. That's simply the way that 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 hopeful because I am out in this world to help people love deeply and possibly, just maybe, something I talk about will help someone bring some light into their heart. For years I've been willing to pull a lesson or learning point out of even the worst circumstances to help evoke others. But what I'd like to share with you is that I am not constantly positive. In fact, I don't ever force myself to be because that only creates inauthenticity.
I have very dark moments and days at times. In reality the more and more I love with everything I have, the more extremely I feel agony, hurt, loss, and everything else that can make your hands tremble when it comes round. I feel those things now more than I ever have previously. The liquefying of a cold heart many years ago gone has exposed it to be bare, vulnerable, and gives it the capacity to feel everything intensely.
So sometimes, writing something that's optimistic, is actually me fighting as tough as I can to keep a positive perspective on life. In reality, some days are way harder than others. Some days, I feel a bit like I'll just barely breath.
Over the years, I have learned to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I really am so fortunate to have that. So if you're struggling, just know, I struggle too.
I struggle hard. And with all that, I love hard.
