Looking for the Brigher Side

There's usually a brighter side to most things in life. Look hard enough and you'll find it 90% of the time. Even if there isn't one, more often than not you can create a brighter side. Only problem is, when you can't seem to find it, you panic. What happens when the reassurance of the brighter side is muffled by clouded, self destructive thoughts and the light suddenly dims? You search for the switch but it's too dark to be found, and all hope is seemingly lost for some time. Of course, if you just take your time and let your eyes adjust to the dark, breathe deep, flip the switch and continue onward, you'll eventually be fine again... but it doesn't erase the uneasy discomfort of the dark. All you can do is just push it back. Push it down. Pray that you'll never be left in the dark again, and that the bright side is always just a step away.

Or are we all disillusioned into believing that bright and dark sides even exist? What if it just is, and we interpret that into what we want? What if we create bright and dark sides? What if this comment doesn't make any sense? What if I get another job which doesn't allow me to have free time as to write ridiculous comments on other people's blogs? Hmmm... I guess I should stick with my previous comments. LET'S GET SOMETHING PIERCED!
