A former romantic interest of mine was from Poland, and there was one phrase she used that confused me: "Disappointed in a good way." To this day I still dont know exactly how much sense it makes, but I get the gist. I prefer to think of myself as a realist, which means technically I'm slightly pessimistic. I see things more or less how they are, without assuming Deus Ex Machina will save us all. But that's just me.
