Realism is like this for me, we are all going to die, but wait, that means I can pursue my dreams and do what I want to do as long as I am not dead. So I will keep trying no matter what to suceed.
Also the real world is bittersweet, whos the negativist now? There are so many wonderful things to go and pursue, love to be had, joy and emotions, but also sadness and death and isolation, and people who fight against you. But you must win against them.
Oh ok, I mean I wish that I would be the one to bring money to the table but I will be a starving artist instead.
