peaks and valleys

I find it odd that I define life by my failures and short comings. Sure when I look back I see my successes, but it is usually defined by a failure first.

Through life their is peaks and valleys. But I never see the peaks. I am always in the valley, surrounded by the dark shadows cast upon me, claustrophobic, crushing. It is not until I get into the valley that I have seen the peak that I just came from, and I do not see the peaks in front of me because from the valley it looks insurmountable.

Why is it that I find it easier to articulate my darkness rather than my light. I tend 'feel' the most when I am in a bad place.
