Are you an optimist or a pessimist?

I see what you did there. lol

I am indeed an optimist whenever possible.

Good. I'm having a down day and my response probably would've been different had I replied to this yesterday.

Such is the case with most questions. Here's a sleepy cat gif.

edit: it didn't post. I've failed you.

An optimist. But I have lived far too long to know that being that way only goes so far. One must eventually embraces the reality of all situations. And they do not always invite optimism.
