I'm trying to get better.   I don't consider myself a good man by any stretch of the means.  I am cynical, weak, bitter, lonely, and too much of a coward to change those things about me.    But that doesn't mean that I have lost faith that I -cannot- change them...    
On a rare occasion I amaze myself still. I did just the other day. Sometimes the loathing I feel towards myself turns around and gives me a shining moment of strength, kindness, nobility, and grace. That gives me hope.
I wish I could harness it and become a better man.
