"yes, i'm the realist"

i am realistic. i can't stand it when i delude my reality, when i try to escape. there's nothing about my reality that i don't like. but i'm talking about reality, because i believe reality is different for everyone because perception is different. so in my world, i face what i believe to be the truth, i don't hide, and my answers are usually honest.

but i'm also an optimist. now, with pestilence and greed and war and bloodthirst as the pillars of our society, how could this be? well, that one's easy. i live my life without society, i am my own island. and because in my little world there's no real pending dilemma, i'm happy. and i always have hope for the outside world and my own, that whatever it is will pass and life will always go on.
