Their Sense of Optimism

Friday 9th of May 2025 and I'm not sure how often I've been talking about discipline I might sound like I'm repeating myself a little bit but at the moment I'm just basically kind of like watching my kids run around before I drop them off to school.

We're parked outside the church there's a little bit of a grassy area and they're just running around exploring. I'm thinking about their optimism, their sense of optimism like how optimistic they are

you know and you know they are, you know. And, you know, I've always, you know, kind of like there's something that I've picked up from, you know, kind of like some of the information that goes floating around on social media, that apparently it argues that, you know, children are always more optimistic, you know, than, you know, kind of like their adult, kind of like adult peers, so to speak, you know, their parents or whatever it is,

they're always more optimistic. Understandably so, it's the innocence, it's the realization, you know, no sense, you know, not as heavy sense of responsibility in comparison to the adults and stuff like that. But I'm trying to just effectively, you know,

grab a page from their book, really, and you know, read the entry for them entry fully you know as I work on this song that I'm currently working on and enjoying the process I'm trying to effectively kind of like grab a page from their book to kind of like keep you know being optimistic because yes whilst to a certain extent like you know discipline is the thing doesn't matter whether you're optimistic or not doing something whether you like it or not that

is the thing that is going to keep you kind of like um going forward uh you know being optimistic being optimistic also helps because at the moment i can't lie at the moment i can't lie this week optimism has been the last thing on my mind i've been very pessimistic about many things and it hasn't exactly like you know inspired me to do anything just inspired me to kind of like stay in bed and do nothing at all but you know I'm trying to effectively just stay positive stay optimistic stay proud of myself you know keep my head held high and yeah just keep things moving forward
