I wouldn’t refer to myself as a sunshiney (I don’t think that’s a word, but it is now) person. That honour belongs to my friend Summer… You know who you are.
But today I feel like I amΒ the sun. I feel the sun shining down upon me, the warm glow filling every part of me.
And damn, it feels good!
I can’t remember when last I have felt this good, and had it last almost an entire day. It’s such a welcome relief.
I know there’s a lot of you out there who feel the opposite today. And to you I’d just like to say this:
The darkness feels real right now. It isΒ real. But so is the light. And you willΒ experience that light again. When you feel that sunshine, don’t spend it fearing the darkness that might come again. Just allow yourself to be present in that moment, without thought of what might come tomorrow, or even a few hours later. Enjoy it. Because it’s these little moments of sunshine in our lives that keep us breathing through the worst storms.

I agree. I too don’t think of myself as a shiney happy people person. That’s what I like to call it. Nor do I write those types of poems. I wish I were and could though.

I’ve found that my writing is so much better when I’m depressed or hurting. I write most of my ‘poems’ when I’m in that negative place. I can’t write any positive ones, so I get you. And I think that’s okay. π
