on optimism
There are only so many wise things a person can say. A person may speak with veracity but have little to support his or her strength in words. I fear I am quickly becoming this kind of person. All talk and no walk. The kind of person who shells out advice at every opportunity but for some reason cannot take that advice and apply it to themselves.
I also fear that I am becoming the sort of person who is a pessimist. I see only failure in things beyond a certain time or event and I become certain of impending doom. These writings are self-evident in that I am losing and lacking in and of my previous optimistic nature. Before, I believed anything to be possible. Now, though I espouse the thought at every turn, I feel a doubt as to its truth.
