Optimist, Pessimist or Realist? Which are you and what's your strategy for remaining true to your outlook on life? What keeps you centered on that belief? Or do you fluctuate with mood or specific occurrences in life? I want to know! Any form of writing is fine. Let's go up to 500 words. Minimum of 50. If your a pessimist, make me think like you, optimist, give me your positive secret, realist...bring me down to reality. I need good hard convincing! Tag me! I will do one too! Poem or whatever!

The pitcher

There is a lot of talk about the glass

It is half full, or half empty in half hearted attempts to explain 

An outlook on life

Me, I am not an optimist 

I am not a pessimist 

I do not look at the glass and think, how much more water plus I have 

Or how much less

No, I do not look at the glass 

And see how full

How empty

I know there is only half a glass of water

Me? I look for the pitcher

Me, I am not an optimist

I am not a pessimist 

I am an idealist

And I know the world isn't perfect

But I also know that the world can change
