Honestly, nothing really. It feels like each year more fucked up things are happening, so I lost the positivity I had for the upcoming years.
Don't get me wrong I am in a good place personally, but with all the stuff going on in the world it sometimes feel hard to believe it's gonna get better any time soon.
Same - I’m a natural optimist and live a good life. But I can’t see any solutions for the horrors of the world. I only see new disasters brewing up, and being backed by more and more people.
But I’m finally starting in my new position at work next year and that good for me.
Same. I only have the ability to directly control a few things in my life and the rest is just constantly getting worse thanks to the actions of other people. Optimistic for me is just being able to tread water at this point and I'm not optimistic.
