It's odd, normally when I am feeling very down, I don't feel much optimism but lately, I have been assuring people that things will get better, that the sun still rises and that all is okay. Not just about their problems but my own. Yes, I feel hopeless but there is still a spark in me that is sure that I am not going to give up. Someone told me recently that I was the only one who got them through a rough time. I cried, I thought I was no help and I felt helpless yet somehow they saw me as strong and brave.

This picture is just a visualization of my brief inner peace during my times of trouble. I know it's not my usual quality, I am still using SmallWorld's limited tools so I can't do my usual tweaks to clean it up.
