everything is relative.

i look at things i dislike and feel disheartened. i list flaws and drawbacks. i rip the fabric to shreds. and when i stop and look around - surprise! i see a series of alternatives that appear attractive on first inspection. a closer look shows how deply inferior the alternatives truly are.

maybe i can't improve on what i've got now. but i can improve on the way i tend to look at it.

i have to make the most of every opportunity.
