optimism vs. pessimism.

If an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, "Well, this isn't too bad. I don't have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed," but most of us would say something more along the lines of "Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!" ~Lemony Snicket

Life is full of many problems, lots of things we cannot handle on our own. So we hide inside ourselves in hopes that things will get better, but we're so pessimistic that we honestly don't care if things get better or not. We just think that things will keep getting worse. However, if you look on the bright side of things and be more optimistic you might see the world differently. Bad stuff happens when you're looking at the down side of things. If you worry about something happening, it will happen. Because you worry about it that much, more and more every day, every minute, second, you're making it that much worse for yourself.

Every once in awhile, things may not go the way you planned, but that doesn't mean it's going to screw up your whole life. Life is just one big roller coaster, we might as well enjoy the ride.(: If one thing goes wrong, maybe something twice as good may come from it. There's no reason to worry, you're too young. You have you're whole life to live. So what if s/he broke up with you, it's their loss. Not yours. Big deal if your mom/dad told you no about getting what you want, save up your own money and buy it. Things happen for a reason. Make the best of it.
