The next time someone tells you to stop being so bloody negative, tell them to shut it and get on with your life. Aim low so if it’s better than you expected then you are still pleasantly surprised and you are never let down! The fake happiness. That’s my new motto. No it isn’t really but putting things into perspective can show interesting results.
Think of it like this: You went on a vacation and had a BRILLIANT time completely unexpectedly. You had such a great time that you promise yourself you will return and so you do so the following year. All wound up ready for the same thrills as last time only to be let down. The problem there is that you were trying to recreate the old situation which is not possible and therefore created massive expectations of the good feelings while missing all the new fantastic ones. Things like that should all be uniquely great.
