i was recently thinking about what i could change about myself to by my best me. i thought long and hard and realized im not at all optimistic. im such a realist who takes shit for what it is. i rarely hope and dream, that shit honestly seems pointless to me. id rather do it, than dream it. i always say “dont get your hopes up, that way you’ll never be disappointed.” however ive personally decided to give this whole optimism thing a go. but before i went in on my optimistic journey, i looked up the definition of it. (fuck you, im not a nerd)

DEFINATION: “hopefulness, confidence about the future or successful outcome of something; a tendency to take a favorable or hopeful view.” The word is originally derived from the Latin optimum, meaning “best.” Being optimistic, in the typical sense of the world, ultimately means one expects the best possible outcome from any given situation.

im going to give it a shot and see if it really changes shit for me. hopefully it does.

oh, and funny thing is, while i was in the grocery store today, i grabbed a magazine to read my horoscope which read: “a jolt of optimism and cash flow will make this month worthwhile.”
