glass half full mentality

α person that always looks on the bright side of things.
She has α glass half full mentality. I want to be like her.
Something that can be perceived in multiple ways with significantly different meanings, or has a distinct dichotomy. Can also be used to express confusion, gleeful chaos, going with the flow, something with great aspects that is ultimately disappointing, something comprised of opposites, or something that seems designed to create conflicting interpretation. Comes from "the glass half full". It varies from an optimistic term to a less harsh criticism than similar alternatives. It is always more positive than it's cousin "hawfull".

The term originates in Michigan and is most often used to describe the weather. Due to the great lakes surrounding the state small bursts of weather change are so common that people only a few miles away can step outside and experience entirely different weather. Is the weather good? Is it bad? No, it's haffull.

(pronounced: hahf fool)
"The weather was really haffull today."

" The way he worded that tweet was kinda haffull."

Q: "Was that movie fantasy or science fiction?"

Power Couple 

A relationship between two people who are equally as cool as each other. They are as individually awesome and fun to be around as they are when they are together.

Neither one depends on the other for their feelings of self worth- they know in their heart that they are just as valuable to the world as the other. Good looking, optimistic, and sparks a light in the world that people recognize that goes beyond a normal relationship.

In a power couple, if one person is flawed, the other person makes up for their weaknesses in strength. Together they are the epitome of what anyone would desire in a relationship. They encourage goodness in the world and make it a better place by being together.
I'm a fan of those two, they are such a power couple, the epitome of what anyone would want in a relationship.

I am envious of them because they are a power couple.
