The Flip Side

Well, I know I’m quite the pessimist sometimes, but, for whatever reason, things don’t seem to be going too well with what I’m trying to do over at Promise of Light. I don’t think that people realize I just stopped trying to publish my own work, and suddenly wanted to publish other people’s work, because I am that much in love with words, with the people who speak them, and this world in which we hear them in. I have lived life like a true artist since I began to truly understand, since I began to truly listen, to beauty and pain, side by side like the yen and yang, like the slick, black streets of a rainy night and the blueness of a sun-filled day. Any minute resource I obtain now goes toward my new ambitions for others. I say this not be recognized, but, perhaps, to be understood. But being who I am I will never give in, it’s simply not an option. And, as I mentioned, on the flip side, or side by side, or even the other side, there’s always optimism.
