optimism isn't exactly what you think it is. it's a peal of laughter, a spark of anticipation, a flare of confidence. it's spinning the darkness in the past and present into light for the future. it's staying aboard a raft while being flung through wild currents. it's holding on to a tree while being tossed from side to side by gusts of wind - it's being a tree that's clinging on to solid ground by nothing but its unstable roots. it's being a lantern in the shadowy woods. it's grabbing onto the last shreds of hope while your world shatters around you. optimism is all that and more. much, much more.
