Taylor swift’s song “bad blood” is a great example of this idiom!
“Cuz baby now we got BAD BLOOD you know we used to be mad love” you just put that song stuck in my head, lol.
Haiden Grantham-Hogg – (look on the bright side) March 19, 2022
Hello! I would like to ask a question. While reading Agnes grey: a book by Anne Brontë, I found a quote which references the term “looking on the bright side” which is: “to regard the matter on its bright side.” This sparked curiosity within me, and so I went on search for when this term was first used. Is it possible that “look on the bright side” may have originated from this term penned by Anne Brontë or does it have a further connection with history and/or literature and was then modernised into “look on the bright side”?
Thank you for reading!

Love is not blind; it chooses what it wants to see or ignore, similar to how Jesus Christ forgives when you repent.
