Natural Optimism (RAMBLE)

This is just going to be more of a ramble that I'm writing off the top of my head, so if it seems all over the place, that's why. 

I feel like I'm one of the few people in this world who is a natural optimist by default, though don't get me wrong, I can be very realistic and cynical if the need calls for it. For some reason though, whenever I expect things, I usually expect the best outcome. 

My reason for this is unknown, even to me. Maybe I'm just lucky, and everything that happens to me happens in the best way? I wouldn't know, even though it's my life. Though, I do have SOME theories. 

I'm on the autism spectrum, high-functioning, born and raised, and I came out as transgender when I was 17. One would think that I would see the worst humanity has to offer, but I don't think I have. Honestly, it's the autism in my opinion; I've been judged and criticized for literally breathing since the day I was born. 

To put it in video game terms, I've been on the hardest difficulty since the moment I was born. ;) 

Despite the fact that life has been hard for me in a lot of ways, all I have felt is hope and optimism for the future, just by nature. Maybe I'm just naive? Maybe I just have really good luck? I have no idea.
