I don't know why it is, but for some reason people seem to think that writers are attracted to dark, cold places. Though I cannot speak for all writers I can speak for one and that one does like cold, dark places which is why she is very content on a day like today.
Today is foggy and overcast and as I stepped out of the dungeon I call home I realized that it was drizzling outside. How happy I was to be walking to my classroom in this lovely weather. I couldn't help but notice how miserable everyone looked and then there was me with a goofy smile on my face. I have been told more than once that I have an odd outlook on life but this was one of the few times where it has been blindingly true! This does not bother me. Because knowing your weakness (if you call it that) is the first step to using that weakness to become a better person. My "weirdness" has given me a special talent that most people live without--the ability to find the silver lining in any situation. I have realized that no matter what the situation you can find the good in it. It may take a while and you may have to think on it, but sooner or later you can find it if you are looking. I pity the people who choose to live without this. You see, it's one of those talents where the more often that you practice it the better you get. So anyone if willing can become a pro at this game. Some however still choose to have a sour look on life. No matter what the situation, they fall into a trap of finding the negative, but just as my talent develops with time so this problem of finding the worst instead of the best can get better with time. All you must do is choose not to find the bad. No one/thing is perfect, but they must have some good hidden in them. Which is why I have made it my job to find it.
