Pessimism

Ever since I was little, I have always been a pessimist. I see the worst of everything (or as I like to see it, the reality) and I always think the worst of everything when I think of different scenarios (which I think classifies me as a pessimist). My pessimism has lead me to make assumptions that things are happening when they aren't. This is one thing that I really want to change about myself. I feel like it bogs me down and it bogs down my boyfriend, the person who means the most to me in the whole world. I've decided that I need to take steps to improve myself so that I can be a better person not only for those around me, but for myself. We'll see how this goes... :)
