There is something that means the world to you, someone you care for so deeply, some factor in your life that causes your heart to well up with enormous emotion. You try to hide the passion you feel and the strength of this powerful affinity. You don't like others to see how potentially vulnerable it makes you. You even kid yourself about the full extent of what you feel. Yet it is nothing to be ashamed of. Nor need it ever be a problem. It is time to celebrate your closest connection and don't be afraid. 'Every time it rains, it rains pennies from heaven.' So goes the old song. The idea is a familiar one. There's no such thing as a cloud without a silver lining. All our problems are just blessings in disguise. So go the platitudes. But, like all great cliches, they have their roots in undeniable truths. In your emotional life now, it is particularly important to trust what inspires you, even if currently this seems more like the source of a problem than a source of joy. Optimism is not escapism.
