trends

I realized — while re-reading the past few posts — that I have been trending dangerously close to the ‘depressing’ line.  Not what I want at all.  But — and I’m sure you can understand this — it’s where I’ve been mentally, and it’s very hard to sit down and write honestly and authentically about anything other than the place you are currently in (unless you’re writing fiction — but that’s a whole different ballgame).

I’m not disciplined or trained in the art of writing.  I’m pretty much just good at putting onto the page what I’m feeling in my soul.  Sometimes it’s fairly light-hearted, but sometimes, it’s not.  Life isn’t easy, and each of us chooses — to some degree — the experience we have.  Being positive, thinking positively — so strong, so powerful.  But sometimes, so incredibly difficult.

Sometimes, despite wishing and hoping that you felt differently, all of a sudden you find that your perspective has irrevocably changed.  Something you’d once been deeply passionate about leaves you frustrated, irritated, disinterested.  And you wonder — without much hope — how to find where you’d once been.

Anyway.  I’m going to try trending toward the happy for awhile — hopefully it helps.
