Pessimism is good

[Ridin Solo]

Funny you should post this because I've been toying with adopting this mentality as of late... too many times I've let optimism and fantasy fuel hope. Reality never seems to meet me part way. The last time I had high expectations I recieved the worst bout of depression of my life and I don't intend to go back to that state. If I have no expectations to be happy, I'm in a safe place. That doesn't mean expecting the worst in people, but expecting very little.
