Try it you will like it!

When men are calling one another names and making faces
And all the worlds a jangle and ajar
I contemplate on interstellar spaces
And gaze upon a star.

Expectations are potential dissapointments.
Aspirations work better for me.

Life is a one time experience, and never what you expect from it, but ultimately what you make of it.

This is so optimistic!

How about, I'm an optimist because if you always assume things will end up for the better they sometimes do?
