Rewriting the Narrative

I'd like to move towards a bolder style in my short stories for Orble. Up to now I've been focusing on narratives informed by the subversion of satisfaction and happiness, however I'm finding that the more I focus on something, the more it becomes magnified and enhanced. Quite simply, to pay attention to your pain is to emphasise it, encourage it, let it multiply, and I'm interested in focusing on more palatable experiences instead.
Waiting For My Lover
I am mesmerised by the intensity of your focus, the things I can see in your gaze. You are so out of sync with everyone else I know, and it's what I'm drawn to. My language for appreciating you is still being developed, becoming more vivid (and more vague, as the number of vivid narratives gather and comprise bodies of assumed knowledge).
I'm sublimely questioning myself into a state of even more enthusiastic question-mark worship...
Today I wandered around, just enjoying my emotional processes, trying to understand who I am and what I want out of the situations I find myself facing. How I got that glint in my eyes, why I am so stubborn about maintaining my legendary openness and friendliness. Why I will become even more subversive in the future, not less. I will keep tiding against the swimmers, cultivating my tantalising revolutions, inspired by mellifluous revelations.
How can I coax myself into surprisingly greater self-appreciation, and lead by example? How can I talk you out of some of your less loving moments? Will you still find a way to beam at me, even when others are making you feel close to dismal?
