My whole life it seemed 10 bad things would happen for one good thing. But maybe that doesn't have to be the case. I've just come to expect it. But maybe if I expect something else, then something else will happen. I know Im a little childish in my thoughts sometimes it seems like that.

As the saying goes, "Blessed are they who expect nothing, for they shall not be disappointed."
Taking it a step further, that also means that any good stuff that
does happen is pure cream, and we get to enjoy it to the fullest.
It's like this: Pessimists see the glass as half-empty. Optimists see it as half-full. People like us (AKA realists) say "Oh, cool, there's a glass!"
