optimism vs realism

...I'm gonna need a leg up, I'm short and cant quite clamber up onto my soap box... *struggles for a sec then manages to pull myself up* Ahhh There we go.

I wanna talk to yoo today not about crochet

instead I wanted to tell yoo about my views on life. It comes because recently a man died and this man was the father of a friend. He had cancer and so they took his tongue out and so he lived for a while and started recovering and things were seeming hopeful but then they discovered the cancer had spread and he sorta died on wednesday 3 weeks after finding out that the cancer wasnt gone. It was all very quick and that scares me. But mostly I worry bout my friend. Well shes more my finacees friend to be honest  Its left me feeling strange the fact that he died so suddenly and that everyone (myself included) kept saying to this girl and her family

"things'll be fine just yoo wait and see, recovery will take a while but it'll be good eventually"

And this is what I wanted to talk about. Optimism. I think there is a fine balance between optimism and being a realist, but im nowhere near that balance at all. I cant see the bad side in people I cant see the bad side of a situation....well thats not true I can see the bad sides of things and sometimes that gets to me, but in general I dwell on the positive side. i wanna trust anyone and everyone and when that trust is betrayed I wanna forgive and forget. I firmly and truely believe that there is a someone out there for everyone and that everyone (NO exceptions) deserves to be happy. So this has kinda made me realise that sometimes yoo hafta be realistic, but I dunno how to do that. *shaking my head* I'm still too naive I guess. You'd think 6 years on the internet would have bashed that out of me.


The picture by the way is something i drew using a black background a smudge of white and the blur and smudge tools.

The warrior has just come back from a long war far far away triumphantly returning to his family and friends only to find that while he was away a dragon has come and burned his home village, torched his loved ones and left him alone in the world. I'm sure theres a moral behind the picture, but try and figure it out yourselves cause I dunno what it is.
