optimism is the word i used to lie about not being able to pronounce. a series of many, directed at bringing attention to me in all the wrong ways. i “would never get” rimron’s puns. i often said things “without thinking” and then “caught myself.”

i wonder what it would be like to be constantly optimistic. I am not sure that it would be the best idea. i think negativity helps us avoid constant disappointment in life and without it i would crushed under the weight of my failure.

Optimism again. It’s hard to feel the same way day after day, trudging and trudging through the snow. I can do it though.

I think that i have optimism, I’m not sure though. What is that than? proto-opti-pessimism? Maybe, you tell me. I have opte

He wasn’t usually one to have bright, optimistic feelings about, well, many things, but today, he had a good feeling. Each step he took towards the forest was strong, certain. They were going to win this battle.
Optimism is the deaf man’s music, the blind man’s painting, and the sane man’s ale.

The moon glows orange
in the darkest night
of 500 years.
The darkest night
since anyone has had
internet, cable,
electricity,
a badminton set,
grasped the concept of liberty.
This darkness
has changed much from the previous.
Optimism is hard to maintain, but makes living better and easier for ourselves and those around us. Why we get up in the morning and keep going day by day; it’s the decision we make when we see that the the only other alternative is to go down, and instead choose to struggle to get up. Even when the odds are against us. Even when we don’t have a plan.

sunshine happiness. I just love the way she looked when she came out of her room this morning, after a long night of tears, crying. You could tell she really wanted to turn things around. Which makes me think…Maybe I can turn things around too. Oh boy do I love purple.
audrey
People you love sometimes walk away but this is how you determine if you are truly an optimistic person. Do you die inside or does your optimism for love grow even stronger?
Life is all about being optimistic. Optimism is an important part of every human’s life. Be optimistic, it’s fun! After all, there’s just this one chance you get at life! :)

The opposite of pessimism, a tendency to stress the negative or unfavorable.
I often wish I had more optimism. In so many areas, I am a pessimist. I often doubt myself: my abilities, my drive, my intentions. Perhaps you could say I am a self-pessimist.

the glass is half full not half empty. Fred Flare has it right by selling a glass which can only be interpreted as half full, which in turn forces optimism on the drinker. A forced emotion means that this person has no control over their optimism, instead, it happens.

Opportunity. Nothing can stop me. I wil forever be able to take the world by storm. I will always shoot for the stars so I may continue to reach them. Dream as big as possible. No limits.

Is the feeling when my good karma comes back. Me helping people bring me the help I need to succeed.
Israel
my friends are optimism. they are deliberate happiness incarnate. they are viciously dedicated to joy, beauty, and observation.
I was so angry at her. Why did she flirt with me if she never had any intention of dating me?
Oh, probably to fluff her ego. I was so stupid for following her around and trying to catch her attention.
No, wait. This was the kind of thinking wrecks it for me every time.
A woman doesn’t gaze across the room at you like she’s throwing down a challenge if she truly didn’t care.
Yes, I could be an optimist instead of a pessimist for once.

trying so hard to make sure that all your flowers still bloom in the spring and the leaves still change in the fall. you wish that everything willl get better but you know its always the same

i dont really know what this word means, and im 16, ive heard people use it alot, but ive enver really fiquerd out what it means. Does this make me stupid?
It sure makes me feel stupid. Ive been told what it means, but i just cant remember.
Ever.
Stupid
i’m trying to come up with word that rhymes with optimism, but i look at the little growing, darkening, purple bar and i don’t feel optimistic at all. time’s up! Fuck

I should have a bit more of this. Frustrating though, when you’re hearing impaired and you can’t do things other people can. My state just passed a law that you are required to drive hands free – which means no talking on the phone to your ear. However … I can’t use bluetooth, or headphones with a mic since they require use without my hearing aid! Ugh, maybe throw a bit of optimism my way – I surely know I need it.
I’m walking down the street finishing up my cigarette and throw it over a pile of trash. I stare at it for a while, feeling depressed and lonely, i feel like the cigarette butt thrown in the street, forgotten and wasted. But this cigarette butt still has one little spark and this spark is growing. This little spark is burning some old newspapers, it doesn’t care about making new friends. This spark has still got some hell to bring upon, it’s catching quickly, igniting every flammable material in it’s way. Guess what? this little spark has now started a fire! it’s burning up the whole block. The fire department is here, neighbors are running franticly in their bathrobes covering their eyes, reporters are hassling people with their microphones and cameras. This fire in uncontrollable, the whole city is going mad, soon it’s on national television, Helicopters stream through the air, the army gets involved, people are on their knees praying. I watch this and rub my eyes, irritated from all the smoke. I suddenly don’t feel so down anymore, I’m feeling optimistic.
Vazquez
I’m not people.
I’m a goddamn star.
I’m a star, for all the reasons that people think they are human beings.
Because I can think.
Feel.
Perceive.
Hurt.
Love.
I am a goddamn star.
I hope that makes sense. Then again, it probably doesn’t, and optimism really isn’t my strong point. I’m a pessimist to the core – s’why I’d rather be a star, than be alive, some days.
optimism, positivity, happiness. all the same thing. it’s seeing the cup half-full, rather than half-empty. we all need it to survive in our lives, because for those of us seeing the cup as half empty, every time we say that, we lose another precious year of our lives—or something like that anyways
zeena
Is very important not only in my own life, but in everyone life. Without optimism and positive energy nothing moves. There is no going forward.
John Ebert
Hey, you’re not dead. And that’s reeeaaally good. So s’long as you got that, just keep walking.

I lack it. I am a very pessimistic person. It’s a fault that I openly accept. If I think that the worse is going to happen, I am very excited and happy when the best does. I’m wired wrong.
Looking at the bright side, enjoying the rainforest without harping on it’s being wiped out. Enjoying the snow even when it’s blown from a snowmaker. Swimming in the ocean with dolphins and ignoring the oil. That’s optimism.
I am such an optimist! Looking at the bright side. don’t listen to my friends who say I am a glass half full type. I love life and look for the best. It’s just a bummer when your back is tweeked!
You’d think he’d believe in optimism, the way he always smiles, but no. It’s sarcastic. His entire life was filled with the pessimistic thoughts brought about by his guilt, by his torment that he brought upon himself. Can’t he just see that the world doesn’t view him as a monster? That I don’t view him as a monster?
Hannah Rae
optimism is something i don’t have much of. i wish i did, but i just don’t. i try to look on the bright side or the possible good outcomes, but then all the worst possible outcomes come rushing in. i can’t help it. i feel the need to fill my life with more optimistic people.

The best thing we can do in our life is to give someone a sense of optimism when he/she is feeling down.
Is the feeling when good karma returns. Helping people repays itself into people helping me succeed.

keeping your chin up, looking at the the glass half full. staying positive and upbeat. Keeping a cheerful disposition in all circumstances.
everyone feels optimism. everyone feels pessimism. there is so much concern about being happy but the ups and dons are nice sometimes. like ice cream.
