I've been a pessimist for as long as I can remember. I tend to assume the worst in people, and all that's kept me going is the vague sense that giving into the people wanting to keep you down is wrong. I know this is the strangest time to realize this, but realizing just how sick everyone is of putting up with the worst parts of humanity gives me hope. It makes me think that maybe, perhaps, we might wake up from this nightmare yet.
