Facts of life
I....I don't know what to do. I don't know what to say. Life is...life. Nothing ever goes as planned. Nothing good ever lasts. Pain is never far away. Desperation hides behind the plastic smiles of every person who lies when they say that everything is gonna be okay. It's just code for 'damn we're ******** and God help us'. problem is, no one knows when or where or how help will come, but the guarantee is that even if help comes in time, we'll never be the same. Desperation changes us, makes us realize that sometimes, no matter what we do, no matter how hard we work, or how hard we pray, or how much effort we put into making things better, things won't get better, and there's nothing we can do about it. Sometimes there is nothing to do but face the pain, and embrace it. Sometimes all we can do is wear our masks and pretend like we're alright, because the alternative is breaking down and giving up, and showing the world what hopelessness really looks like. Hope is a scam. It makes you feel better until it's taken away, and it leaves you bruised and broken, empty and desolate, shattered and alone. No dreams or ideals can come true, not without a miracle, and only the rich or pure can have miracles. Not the scarred ******** up imperfect lost souls of the world. No miracles for the those who have sinned to often, or don't believe. But even believing won't save you, won't make things better. Life is what it is, and sometimes making the best of it is as simple as playing pretend and escaping into a fantasy world of your own making, sometimes making the best of it is imagining the end of the world, just to distract you from the problems of not only yourself, but everyone around you. Life isn't fair. It's not supposed to be. so don't forget, if something seems to good to be true, it is, and if it seems like your prayers have been answered, watch out for the fine print. Love hurts. Even if your relationship is golden, there will be problems, and it will hurt. It is when the light seems brightest that you are blinded and fall into the pit, so beware, and never put too much hope or faith into anything, less you fall into despair while your dreams shatter like glass around you.
