I have gone from one awful or bad experience to another, not only during the last year, but mainly for much of my life. And mostly, it's career-related, but it can also relate to romantic involvements.

And, on top of the covid mess, in the last year, I have been confronted with:

abuse
separation/near divorce
infidelity
bullying
unemployment
suicide
death
hospitalization
toxic work environment

And honestly, it's been far too much to bare.

I finally got myself a new job, about which I am excited, but I find myself bracing myself for the next big life eruption that comes my way.

How do I not project negativity onto future outcomes, when I've had such a string of bad life experiences or very undesirable life circumstances? How does one remain positive and hopeful?
