The way I see things, I reckon I’m an optimistic pessimist. Others may perceive me as a pessimistic optimist, but they really are very different things. Outwardly, I suppose, I am a cynic- making me, as a noun, a pessimist- but as that’s mostly just for show, and something to mutter under my breath when I’m feeling bold, I’d say I’m pretty optimistic. The problem is, aside from my stance in pessimism/optimism, I have no idea who the hell I am. So here goes trying to work it out.

Realistically, there’s too much going on in your own head to make sense of it all unless you write it down somewhere. And if there isn’t, you’re probably just not thinking enough.
