The lasting effects of optimism
Remember the days when life was simple: no obligations, commitments, drama or hardships? Back in elementary school, or even prior to that, the only thing to get upset about was not getting what one wanted, and I’m talking about a candy bar or a new toy. By the time college came around, things changed: half of the conscious is constantly stressing about future deadlines while the other is either nostalgic or regretful about the past. Regardless, the present is lost and so is one’s positivity.
