I’d like to think of myself as a realist i suppose. I know there are bad things in the world.. we encounter them everyday and you have no choice but to confront them, accept them and move on you know? if you dwell on them you’re just going to make yourself unhappy for no reason.. people forget that happiness and sadness comes from our minds and we control that. life has so many beautiful things in it that we wouldn’t recognize if we didn’t have all the shit too. so actually i guess you’re right.. i’m absolutely an optimist haha but, no i don’t think i live in an idealistic world
