It's a common belief that positive thinking leads to a happier, healthier life. As children we’re told to smile and be cheerful and put on a happy face. As adults we’re told to look on the bright side, to make lemonade and see glasses as half full. Sometimes, reality can get in the way of our ability to act the happy part, though. Your health can fail, boyfriends can cheat, friends can disappoint. It’s in these moments when you just want to get real, to drop the act, and be your true, scared, unhappy self.

If you really knew me you’d know that all those times people ask me why I’m so quiet is because I’m thinking about my past and everything I’ve done to fuck everything that has ended and how I would do things so much more differently and how I wish I wouldn’t have messed up. If you really knew me you’d know that all those times I’ve said I’m tired is when I am actually upset about something.
Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people, you can set your watch by them. And that’s love, even if it doesn’t seem very exciting.
- Sylvester Stallone
