So, I've realized something recently. Trusting people is useless. It never ends well. And when it does, it takes you time, pain, and loss to even get there. It's easy to open up, let people in, pretend they're there, pretend what they say is true. But in the end it leads to this. Running in circles, chasing after nonexistent, delusional ideas. None of it matters. We're all alone. No matter who walks in, they'll walk out. That's the cold, hard truth. The one I should have learned ten years ago. I could've, but I didn't. I held on to all these little ideas. I let people promise their lies and then walk away. I got caught up in the pitiful whirlwind of whatever the hell it was. You said I'd never end up reading that. Truth is, I did. Thank you for pushing me to this. Seriously. And thanks to the rest of them too. I learned my lesson. I'm done. Not that anyone reads this anymore anyway. I tried. I really did. I even gave myself the illusion that it was actually worth it. I'm done with that illusion. I'll have fun, smile, all the works. But I give up on that old idea. It's time to let go of that bullshit, childish illusion.
