You can't always be positive. Actually if you were positive all of the time, how could people truly count on the validity of your character? They couldn't.
Life is wonderfully balanced. In order to be truly positive you really have to experience significant 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 upbeat because I'm out in this world to help people love deeply 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 inspire others. But what I would like to share with you is that I am not always 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 may make your hands quiver when it comes about. I feel those things now more than I ever have before. The softening of a cold heart many years ago gone has exposed it to be exposed, vulnerable, and gives it the opportunity to feel everything intensely.
So often, writing something that's hopeful, is essentially me fighting as hard as I'm able to to keep a positive outlook on life. In reality, some days are a lot harder than others. Some days, I feel like I can just barely breath.
Throughout the years, I've been taught 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 are deeply wrestling, just know, I struggle just as much.
I struggle hard. And with that, I love hard.
