the sunrise + other delusions

This was originally going to be a much darker piece. It was about fear of the future, and its usual failure to meet high expectations. It was about how easy it is to be smothered by doubt and cynicism--especially because this doubt and cynicism is not unfounded. When a situation is very uncertain, it's definitely not a bad thing to be logical, even pessimistic. After all, dreams, and other things we hope for, are very rarely translated into reality.

But then something happened that reminded me that rarely is not the same thing as never, and I ended up reaching for the yellow paint yet again. *facepalm*
