"I remember that things are going to be really amazing when it's all resolved."
Hm. You bring up an interesting point which I would agree with if phrased perhaps differenly. The idea that things are going to be amazing afterward stems from the hope that things will go back to how they once were. Afterall, you wouldn't be bothered with something that wasn't amazing to begin with; you'd just let it go in that case. I think that much optimism, at least in my case, has a strong potential of setting one up for major disappointment and perhaps heartache.
If rephrased into something like "there's a reason for this, this too will pass, and life always have a way of working itself out in the end", then I think that's a healthy dose of optimism without the consequences of failure attached.
