I love this country because I didn't always have it. Freedom, food, water that is clean, Constitution - these are not things I take for granted.
I understand the concept of optimism. But I think with me what you get is a lack of cynicism.
Sometimes it's just harder to remind yourself about what you're doing and why you're doing it... Other times, you have a great desire for it, but physically you're not responding the way you want. That presents other challenges. Then sometimes it all comes together.
