Optimism is the way. Never lose hope 💜✨

Love you friends. All things pass

This is why I believe optimism is the only rational choice. In the darkness there must be light to find your way. Succumbing does nothing but leave you trapped. Optimism must be tempered, yes. Keep your optimism honest. But never let it go. #gamedev #indiedev #optimism #pma #juniordev

I've seen this pattern in so many people, and I'm sure you have too. Life doesn't go their way and so they turtle up and ask less and less and let go of their balloons, only to find themselves sad, and complacent. #gamedev #indiedev #optimism #pma #juniordev #gamedevelopment #gaming #gamingindustry

As we get older I think we tend to move towards pessimism because it makes the drops easier. Because it makes the disappointments hurt less. And we think that this is strength. But it's not. It's just a defense mechanism. It's a trauma response. #gamedev #indiedev #optimism #pma #juniordev
September 9, 2025 at 4:28 PM
ifyouwillem.bsky.social
And I get that. But ya'll, after 32 years on this planet, I can say, definitively and defiantly:

*Don't let the pessimism win* ✨#gamedev #indiedev #optimism #pma #juniordev #gamedevelopment #gaming #gamingindustry #gamers #positivementalattitude #gamedevelopers #positivity #gamedeveloper #games

Come to think of it, a lot of people will use "reality" as this sort of bludgeon. Something to say to break the optimism in people. They'll look at a young, optimistic person and say "one day you'll understand. One day you'll get a dose of reality."

But it also has drawbacks. It makes disappointment all the more bitter, and sometimes it can cause people to live in a version of the world that simply doesn't match reality. #gamedev #indiedev #optimism #pma #juniordev #gamedevelopment #gaming #gamingindustry #gamers #positivementalattitude
