Sounds like I'm not going to remember how shitty life is, so I guess I can be optimistic about that.

People are talking more freely and openly about bringing bodily harm to the super rich, which makes me genuinely feel like things might get better.

Is a delusion a kind of optimism? I'm under the impression that I have to do nothing and everything will sort itself out. That's optimism right?

Im grateful I was finally able to commit to getting a divorce. Took over a year of holding out before coming to this conclusion. Im optimistic I can have a better life once this is all behind me. Sadly im sure this will be the hardest year of my life at the same time. I know ill be so much happier once its over. I used to have an amazing life before her, also with her for several years as well. Once it got to kids and money and disagreements though everything fell apart. I can't wait to do all the things i never got to or expected to like some traveling or random trips or just going out whenever I feel like.

I'm grateful I don't have dementia.

i'm optimistic i'll get dementia, because everyone in my family had it and it kicked in around age 70, which is technically early onset.

Optimism requires either delusion or focusing solely on yourself and ignoring the world burning down around you.
