Bracing yourself for disappointment doesn't make it hurt any less (research backs this up), so you might as well indulge in your fantasies while you can. The enjoyment you get from them is real and valuable and doesn't have any downsides. Be reckless with your optimism!

give yourself the chance to be grateful for what has happened instead of being disappointed in what didn't

I read that happiness is when your expectations falls below the reality. A new mind project for April. Good prognosis.

i used to think it's useless to hope for things because life does not go according to plan, but all the corny advice is true... deciding it is impossible makes it impossible. this goes for love, career, etc. - being hopeful has changed my life in ways i never expected. and if something really is impossible and the choice is to be optimistic and wrong or cynical and right, why not do the option thats more fun...

This NYT piece from last year explains why it’s actually a Good and Normal thing to do. I used to have like six in the bed at once but recently culled my crew to two practical ones: this sleeping Charmander plushie, which I hug while I’m in the fetal position, and an Ugly Doll I put between my knees because it’s nice and flat. They're so comfy and I fall asleep in 30 seconds like this (also they’re cute and I love them)

in Chrome is going to settings --> privacy and security --> site settings --> JavaScript. Under "not allowed to use JavaScript" add the sites you want to access. This is the only trick I've found that works 100% of the time. Video players and widgets that use JavaScript won't work of course but if you want to read something without a pop-up telling you to turn off your adblocker followed by another pop-up saying you've reached your article limit this will do it.
