People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Young people think that nothing bad will ever happen to them.
Growing up, I was not used to good things happening to me.
When things begin to go bad, the perception of people makes it worse.
If everything always went perfectly, I would feel like, When is the ball going to drop? Because good things don't always last. Maybe I'm a pessimistic person. When something just seems too good, I can't believe it.
I have this intrinsic sense that everything will be okay.
I think that when you don't look at the good things around you, that you lose sight of all those good things. And you're not going to enjoy your life.
My life has never been wonderful. Maybe when I was a child, but not after age 15.
When something is not good, it's bad. Period.
Everything bad happens to set up something good. I've always found that to be true. I think if most folks look back on the history of their lives, they'll see that.
Whatever we perceive as good in the world has always endured, and it always will.
