I'll admit I don't like spending too much time around super-cheery people. The ones I've met tend to be the "ignorance is bliss" sort, and therefore lacking in stimulating conversation. Nothing wrong with being an optimistic, but there are limits. Life isn't all puppies and rainbows. I like fun people, but with a decent dose of reality in the mix.

I am an optimist. Things tend to work themselves out when effort is applied. Unfortunately realism is increasingly becoming synonymous with pessimism/nihilism.


Yeah, that's unfortunate, because that's not what being a realist is about. It's about when knowing to apply optimism, and knowing when to apply cynicism, and they both have their place in the right situation.

Stop over-thinking it. You don't need to be more care-free. You need to get a humour transplant.

Yeah, occasionally, but we don't worship shrines of them. No one of us is that special. We'll be remembered more by a select few, but nobody's likely to weep for us if we leave. This place wouldn't be the same if a few people left, but it is a very select few, and in time others will come, others will go.

Don't overthink it, love. NS fame isn't something to seek. Mods, admins, prolific posters. All are forgotten fairly quickly as new posters flood in. It's the annoying twats that are remembered.

A handful of people may remember you. But as people leave the site and others join the site, you are nothing more than an ex nation amongst a world that's moved on.

Lotta people over think, and to a point I get it, a bad plan is better than no plan, ans being unprepared is suicide. That zaid life is to be lived not examined.
