The life of an Idea

At its first conception the Idea is faultless. It is fresh and novel, invigorating like a cool morning flooding into your every cell, infectious in its inspired perfection. Your mind overflows with urgency, suddenly overrun by the need to make the idea become a reality. But as you iron out the details in your mind you begin to notice the ideas numerous flaws, just like a sentence which flowers beautifully in your head but comes across clumsy and clichéd on the page or a person who you had thought flawless that is somehow pushed from their pedestal. As the euphoria wanes the idea fills you instead with trepidation and doubt and if enough time passes before you cast your mind’s eye upon it again, you can barely begin to understand how you ever thought it was a good idea.
