I don't seem to use this journal for much more than getting a hold of other people or complaining about viruses anymore, but a conversation got me thinking about what it means to be positive. I know, it's a trite subject, right? 'The power of positive thinking'. It makes me think of a self-help seminar... But to be perfectly honest, I'm not sure I'd ever accomplish anything if I wasn't sure I would accomplish it. I don't know how or why I developed that mindset or if it was even a conscious decision, but I'm grateful that I have. I can't imagine what would have happened if I'd given up on certain goals...

Don't get me wrong. It's not always easy, and nobody can be positive all the time, but I think it beats the alternative in a lot of cases.

I guess this is why some people have me labeled as an optimist.

Well, I'm not exactly trying to climb the social ladder, if that's what you're getting at.

Hardly; social climbing and life are quite different things.

[attorneyatlol]

Then why bother bringing it up?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Why not?

[attorneyatlol]

...What?

You honestly can't be surprised, can you Phoenix? Why does Tyki get all the fun of making you jump?

[attorneyatlol]

What are you... He doesn't make me jump!

Nothing, we're having a conversation aren't we?

[attorneyatlol]

Are we? Because it seems like you just want to antagonize me!

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

Why, yes I am.

[attorneyatlol]

Then that's hardly a conversation!

You're acting like a child.

Me? You're the one who's--

...Argh, never mind.
