Yes but it can be fun.

Realism is the middle path imo and the proper one in the long run. Just not as much fun.:sad:

yeah i used to be realistic and that sucked.

now i'm becoming more and more optimistic and not only do i laugh non-stop and have a ton of fun, but i feel like i am becoming more in tune with myself and the way things are. it feels more right.

Going from optimistic to delusional about a situation can be easy :shrug:

whos to say what's real and not real? there is no unreal. people who claim to be realists are likely to have experienced the result of "unreal optimism" a term i coined seven words back.
