Be more optimistic

and i’m over it, but i just have to state the irony.

i read something he wrote once and it was something like “i’m an optimistic person”.

very nice.

then he tells me one day with all huff and puff, and sarcasm “i admire your optimism” (when i mentioned a plan/solution) as if the rest of the world doesn’t feel like hell, too.

very nice.

..when someone tells you that you are :)

‘what are you optimistic about?’ (edited by john brockman).

it’s about the views of different leading thinkers of today on why they are optimistic about the future. i don’t agree with all of them, but i truly enjoy reading this book for the sake of being hopeful.

‘into the wild’.
just watched the movie.
going to get the book.

when i went to aceh, i smiled a lot, but mainly at the locals.. i was trying to be optimistic and trying to get to know people there.. also, i just couldn’t stand some of the ppl i worked with! smiling really opens up a lot of doors and one of them is optimism. doing something physical obviously effects you mentally..

i don’t hold a grudge now against any of my friends that i worked with. it’s impossible to, anyway. i don’t have the energy and time to deal with drama. and in order to be optimistic, i got to let it go..

to go back to aceh is going to take a lot of planning… but i got to say, it will also take great optimism if i will go there again with the same people!

all-in-all, i’ve got to sometimes just not care what other people think. there is a limit to carrying people’s emotions and responsibilities of your own on your shoulders..

so as they say, ignorance is bliss. :)

the next time some one says something crappy, i’ll just laugh

shall i put this under optimism, because you fuel my anger so?
i don’t know when it can simmer down…

the other day i dreamt that i punched you.

if i could, i’d punch you right in the nose and make sure it bleeds. because of the time and effort you wasted. because of the hurt you caused my friends. but i couldn’t do that..

but i have my tools and weapons. i’m a writer and so i shall break you with my words.

mark me. :)

(this kind of optimism puts me in the mood to skip… writing lets off steam)..

be an optimistic and a sadist at the same time. everyone will just look at how positive you are and cringe with envy. does that encourage anyone now? :)

i’ve been so down lately, but i’m trying to cheer myself up…
i have a friend from my hometown who says i’m optimistic (when we met at a camp). she just called me up earlier like she occasionally does and we talked. i gave her advice and it occured to me – i should take my own advice! this weekend was so good smile on my face and i decide that i’m going to have a kick-ass month before my semester break starts! :)

it’s weird but for me being optimistic is SO much easier when someone else is being negative and making a fuss..
i remember jungle trekking early this year and this girl would just complain complain complain about how tough it was. (and it was, believe me). weird thing was, no one really felt discouraged, but more encouraged to move on.

we all thanked her. lol

being optimistic has its twists and turns… it’s just realizing life is full of ups and downs and dealing with it as well as you can :)
