I started this one by exploring a recent self-discovery in regard to my nihilistic tendency. By default, without any intervention, I tend to view things as futile. Well, years and years of living this way have gone by, and I can tell you that the result of it has been misery. And so on this episode, I'm just trying to articulate the benefits that having a bit of optimism has had on my mental health. It wasn't an easy thing to discover, because I didn't know to look for it for a long time, but once I found the leak, it was a simple patch job.
