Podcast Fourteen: The Looking Glass
on Jan.26, 2009, under Podcasts
For the lazy, like me, I give you the audio version of my article: The Looking Glass
I think, and let me know if this is true, I am getting better at the whole… reading aloud thing, though there is still many outtakes involved.

as an eternal optimist that is best friends with a steadfast pessimist, i am constantly trying to figure out how she grew one way, and i the other.
of what i am sure of is that we do somehow balance each other out. its my job to point out that if she only looked at it a different way, she might realize that the situation is not as grim as she thought. and she knows how to explain things to me so i can see that i am holding on to whimsical beliefs that are stopping me from figuring something out, that i am getting in the way of making it better. we both help the other see ourselves better, since its hard to look inward to see yourself objectively.
i never find that she seeks out to destroy my “sunshine, lollipops and rainbows” outlook on life. in fact, its quite the opposite. i fight to get her to see the possibilities and to help her discover her self worth, because she is pretty great. and she lets me. i may not always win, but she always lets me try.
i dont think i will ever understand pessimism. i mean, i am human, i have bouts of it, but it will never be something that lives in my core. and i am lucky that my parents helped mold me this way. and being so close with my friend i can see how hard it is to break free from the patterns of thinking that you have had comfort in for so long. so i applaud your new path and offer any encouragement you need along the way.
