Fish, I really work on trying to stay positive, but those creepy little nasty thoughts still rear their ugly head. I feel like if I am positive or get my hopes up, I'll just end up more hurt. So it's easier to think the worse and be prepared for a let down. Does any of this make any sense to anyone?

"It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life."

Joel Osteen

"It's harder to remain positive than it is to do nothing with negativity. In many ways, living in that frame of mind is waving the white flag at life." FMP
