I am feeling very fragile at the moment. In the past few weeks, I have let my guard down and let myself see the silver lining. Now, I'm not so sure that was a good idea. I will fight the urge to retreat back within myself. I was beginning to see the spark of true change in my life. I can't let that die! I don't know..... just very very fragile.
Maybe every optimist is just a closet pessimist...

"Most people measure their happiness in terms of physical pleasure and material possession. Could they win some visible goal which they have set on the horizon, how happy they could be! Lacking this gift or that circumstance, they would be miserable. If happiness is to be so measured, I who cannot hear or see have every reason to sit in a corner with folded hands and weep. If I am happy in spite of my deprivations, if my happiness is so deep that it is a faith, so thoughtful that it becomes a philosophy of life, — if, in short, I am an optimist, my testimony to the creed of optimism is worth hearing."
~Helen Keller in Optimism (1903)
