A Fool's Hope

There was never much hope for a blog consisting of cheerful, light, jolly, entertaining posts. I realise that now.
I was aware, of course, that this venture would require a certain degree of randomness (which I seem to possess in startling quantities) and humour (which I am not yet sure if I have mastered). I did know all this prior to the writing of my first post.
However, I had failed to anticipate how much my writing would be influenced by my affinity for solemn thought and philosophical reflection and by my excessive bitterness. I do have far too much of the latter... Yet, I am quite certain that you appreciate the great extent to which I have shared my person with you through these thoughts and opinions, and critiques, and condemnations.
This is who I am.
Of course, I can seek the light, the humorous in any given moment – when this is required of me. I can seem to be unfailingly positive and calm, and optimistic, and redundantly exuberant.
But... There is a difference between seeming and being. And I shall not become the mask I have to wear.
