well yeah im in between a pessimist and realist. is that normal or okay though? i mean i try to be optimistic most of the time but at the same time i have to be realistic cuz life can throw shit at me sometimes. maybe it's wrong for me to think like that. i don't know... meh.

so what do you define yourself now after successfully conducting your thesis defense? you can be an optimist and a realist at the same time. that’s what the buddha taught actually. understand that life is suffering, understand that you will constantly suffer because you have desires, wishes, expectations and life won’t always fulfill your desires, wishes or expectations. that is why you suffer. but remain optimistic because somethings are meant for us and somethings aren’t. how will you know which are for you and which aren’t? well you just have to live life to find that out.
