      I absolutely loved your story ‘The Delinquent’. It’s very well written, especially considering it’s your first complete story. I have a feeling you’ll achieve every success in your writing if this one is anything to go by. It will be a pleasure to follow you and see how you progress. I look forward to buying one of your books in the future. 🙂

      Regarding being optimistic, always remember, it’s your choice how you handle what life throws at you. You can moan and grumble about all the lost chances and unfair deals you had, or you can accept life as it is and try to make the best of things. Choosing the latter brings peace and contentment, knowing you did the best you could.

    Thanks for following my blog, and I love the poetry. You seem to assimilate cloud formations. I like watching them too. They tell me a lot when I connect with them, like how I am feeling and what hidden messages I am desiring and needing to know within my answer ‘s inner source formed within the guidance of a cloud; illuminating an angel, a mother embracing a child, or sometimes a small beacon of light peering through a dismal, dark hovering cloud on a tumultuous day.
    Blessings!

    • It would certainly be a more positive world, but we can never eliminate life’s problems. All we can do, is give ourselves better coping methods. If we refuse to be brought down by our struggles, and choose not to dwell on them, somehow, they don’t seem so big. Moping about some problem just emphasises it and brings us down, sometimes to a deep depression. The trick is to focus on what brings us joy. With happiness in our minds and hearts, we can more successfully deal with the problems. Happiness lies within us, we just have to bring it out. No-one else is responsible for it.
