How It Feels To Be An Optimist

Sometimes all you can do is choose peace

[Dinamo-dxnz]

Well, to be fair, being positive, he survived both cars and the snake only ripped his shirt instead of biting and poisoning him, so....another day to be alive and grateful.

As an optimist, I can confirm this is how we go about our lives

[TheFansOfFiction]

I need more media representarion of relentless optimists who are absolutely _not_ naive or innocent or undamaged like people assume they are. Most of the time optimists in media (and sometimes real life) get dunked on as the dumb, comic relief, punching bag character or hated for getting everything "handed to them on a silver platter." But the real world needs beacons of hope. We need characters who are optimists because they've seen the worst the world has to offer and came out the other side.
Things don't turn out okay; you make them okay -- or, at least, cling tightly to what is.

My grandpa told me this when I was a kid and it’s been my motto ever since

“If you look for light you will find it. But if you look for darkness that is all you will ever see.”

I blame him for making me a optimist

[HBob_YT]

He never ceases to smile, what a nice guy.

This is what true inner peace looks like

The wellbeing of the Lego Guy is entirely determined by what head he is wearing. The Old School Lego minifigures had only a one feeling, happy. They had very optimistic view of the World. Nowadays there are thousands of different Lego heads, happy, sad, angry, etc. Not so simple and optimistic anymore.

I expected copium. But that's just straight up optimism at its finest

"Being a pessimist is great! Im either right or pleasantly surprised"

[captaincrunch]

“An opportunity to meditate due to lack of material goods, how nice.”

[stellleo]

Honestly he’s right for being optimistic here, he survived several car crashes & the snake just took off his shirt, he’s lucky to still be breathing & in one piece

[CrusaderBro]

Sometimes we need to stay positive. Keep up the good work Ed!

[ljproductions]

Man that Lego guy is a true warrior the fact that he went through all that and survived and chooses to be positive makes him a hero at heart ❤️

[thecluckster]

This is so real, there’s always a bright side to things. Those flowers at the end were very pretty :)

[PixelaGames]

Yes! This is exactly what it’s like. As an optimist myself, I can confirm. Like can get pretty hard and scary, but that doesn’t mean we can’t make it better.
Always keep your inner childhood spirit alive, because without it…you’ll forget how to have fun…and be happy.
Also, even Optimists…get anxious. I’m an optimist, but even I get anxious and doubtful sometimes.

That feeling you get when you're an optimist talking to a pessimist.

[soufianegamerpro]

man i wish if i was that optimistic, i will never feel depressed ever again

[Uthael_Kileanea]

This guy is so lucky. Any (or several) of the following things could've happened in addition:

The bus could've splashed a puddle of piss.
He could've been severely injured in any of the traffic accidents.
Instead of losing the money he had on him and his shirt, he himself could've been stolen for organ harvesting.
There could've been fresh concrete where he sat.
There could've been a wasp nest in the plant nearby.
He could've been allergic to the flower's pollen.
The weather could've been much worse.

Yes. Nice day today. Just a minor setback.

[crunchybro]

I’d be like “that was great I gotta tell someone” only to have nobody believe i came out of any of that unharmed

[WhistlingStickman]

I'm a prospective optimist. I won't lie to myself or others and say that something is good when it isn't, but I fully believe in the goodness to come. In that, there is nothing that can sway me. The future will be beautiful.
