I was once asked together with 20 others, whom among us were positive minded, and who were the pessimists.
To my surprise, I was the only pessimist.
Is it really that bad being one ? Think about it.
A pessimist always believes that the worst will happen to him. Nothing good can ever happen to himself. Everything he wished for would never happen.
Never happen. Impossible. Keep telling that to yourself, and when something bad happens, it actually doesn't feel as bad. It doesn't demotivate you much, it doesn't even hurt much. You expected this, you knew this was coming, and now that it is here, you don't feel bad.
No expectations, no disappointment.
Does this mean being a pessimist would eventually make you happier?
There is something that every pessimist will never be able to have, will never be able to believe in.
Hope.
Hope, is one of the greatest thing that could ever happen to a person.
Hope, makes you believe that tomorrow is a day worth waking up for.
Hope, makes you believe that you can be a better person.
Hope, gives you the strength to try something that you would never have tried otherwise.
Hope..... gives you something to look forward to.
Hope. Hope is something every pessimist wish for, but will never have.
And When Hope abandons you.
............
You Give Up.
We watch the season pull up its own stakes,
And catch the last weekend of the last week,
Before the gold and glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades
You have stolen my heart,
You have stolen my heart.
