Pessimists only get happy surprises.
I recently told my wife that I've started partially avoiding politics because I couldn't take the hits anymore. She responded (paraphrasing) "you should, it's been mostly good news!"
I responded by referencing the "don't do that, don't give me hope" meme.
If the worst happens, I won't be surprised. If the alternative does, I will be delighted and surprised.
edit: Sorry, I'm exhausted for unrelated reasons and that was probably rambling. You can probably safely ignore every part of this post after the first sentence. Hopefully that one adds some conversational or morale value.
Relax, you're fine, man. I like some insights in people's lives, it's interesting, even though it's only a short window I like to look inside. I figure I'm not the only one.
Hope you have a great weekend, stranger <3
Likewise.
