the way things look really is the way we choose to look at them.
if we choose to be really optimistic and look at everything as half full den we'll really see e good side in everything, and be able to learn from everything, whether good or bad, that happens to us. you see everything positively, even the bad things that happen to you. you always think how it cld have been worse, but luckily its not and give thanks for that. also, you are always able to learn something from bad stuff that happens and that helps u become a better person eventually, somehow. haha most likely an optimist believes that whatever happens, happens for a reason and most likely its so you can learn.
but if we choose to be a really really ultimate pessimist den no matter how good things are, we'll never be satisfied and think we've got it really bad. like instead of counting your blessings when you've got many, you choose to look at everything that u wanted but never got. then you'll start to get really depressed and wonder why ur life sucks so much when actually, you've got a pretty good life. so you miss out on so much of your life because you're stuck at the things that got away. i guess thats how come pple who go through the same experiences come out differently. and it explains why everybody comes out differently from different circumstances. explains how some pple can make it, and some just cant.
its really all in the mind, i think. haha and i think that whether we're an optimist or a pessimist affects the way we live our life alot. like if u're an optimist you're likely to be happy everyday. coz ure just able to look at the good in everything. like oh so the bus broke down today. nvm, gives me a chance to practice my sprinting when i sprint into school! and prob sth like oh so its raining today and i dont have an umbrella. nvm, can walk thru e rain and shunbian give my uniform a nice wash. or maybe oh im stuck in a damn crowded bus in a damn traffic jam. nvm, all the better to look at all the motionless cars ard me and exercise my brain by permutating their car plate numbers until i get 23! haha. yupp so i guess thats how an optimist thinks. so as a result, an optimist has a happy life. haha but think how a pessimist wld react in similar situations. thats prob why a pessimist is always depressed. he/she makes himself/herself depressed by picking out all the bad things to think abt! and that prob overshadows all e good things so it seems like nothing good ever happens when it does!
haha so you're prob wondering why im posting such a long post on optimists and pessimists when u prob knew abt everything i posted alr. well. i just feel like. haha and all e things happened to me today. well not exactly everything. i got caught in a super heavy rain, got water splashed all over my skirt by some damn car, and got stuck in a horrendous traffic jam. but nope, i didnt bother permutating everything ard me to get 23. seriously! haha. think im not that of an optimist. but i think being an optimist is good. shall try to think positively more. but rmbr to still remain a realist. u dont wanna be going mad trying to find good things in everything when there isnt. shit happens, yes it does. u cant change the shit, but u can think how u wanna react to it. yupp.
so thats my life lesson of the day. i thought of some other stuff too but i suppose thats stuff for another post.
goodnight everyone.
Feels like forever
Within my heart
Are memories
Of perfect love that
You gave to me
Oh, I remember
When you are with me
I'm free, I'm careless
I believe
Above all the others
We'll fly
This brings tears
To my eyes
My sacrifice
a star fell from the sky;
