Dear Negative Nancy

 I like to consider myself a realistic optimist. While I understand that the sun isn’t always shining, I do know that there is light after the storm; no matter how long the rainfalls. Because of this, I try to remain optimistic about unfortunate events that are occurring around me and look toward the sunshine that will undoubtedly come to fruition. What I cannot stand is a Negative Nancy or the “dark cloud” that never sees anything in a positive light.

I understand that it is hard to see the positive when you are surrounded by bad energy, but if you try hard enough you can see that even on the worst days there’s something to smile about. Look, you woke up this morning; smile about that. So negative nancy, I understand you’re the ying to my yang; however, I don’t need that energy in my space so please take it elsewhere.

​Thanks.
