You Can't Always Be Positive

By Evan Sanders


You can't always be positive.

Being positive all of the time isn't realistic because life is incredibly balanced. Life gives us a dose of negative to really help us appreciate the positives.

To be truly positive you have to be willing to suffer through the negatives. You have to be willing to fight through the dark times in order to see the light. Carl Jung once said, "The brighter the light the darker the shadow." That statement couldn't be any truer.

In my life, I try and keep my writing pretty positive and hopeful because I am out in this world to help others love deeply and perhaps, just maybe, something I talk about will help someone bring some light into their heart.

For years I've been taking my personal experiences of suffering through the worst of situations and transforming those events into stories that could somehow resonate with others. Those stories are not always coming from a positive place, but they can always end in sort form of light.

Everyone has gone through dark moments. Everyone has suffered through the worst of the worst. We are all challenged throughout our lives and some moments are darker than others. But we all can rise. We call can get back up and continue loving despite being through unloving situations. We can all continue to put our hearts on the line even if we have had ours broken to pieces.

We can all find some light in the darkness. We can all try to bring a positive outlook into our lives even though we are going through very dark times. Some days are going to be a lot harder than others and you are going to feel like you can hardly breathe. Keep going. Keep trying.

Throughout the years, I've been taught to express these things through my art and pour myself out through my writing and I'm so lucky to have that. So if you're struggling, just know, I struggle too.

Continue going through the struggle because it will give you access to deep amounts of love.
