Filthy Acts At A Reasonable Price

third day of the semester:

2 He won’t drink all your milk

3 Fun to antagonize

4 You can boil water on his head by calling him short

*turns on video game*

me: 

i think everyone just knows that things don’t always work out in the real world. no matter how hard you try, things can’t always be fixed and the simple act of trying sometimes makes things far worse.

and when you experience that kind of letdown again and again, then after a while whenever anything happens, you find yourself thinking “trying just makes everything hurt worse. what’s the point of trying, then?”

deciding from the very start that there’s nothing you can do is easier. it hurts less. all those experiences of failure and disappointment....they put the breaks on any positive thought you might have. negativity gets so deep into your heart and it’s hard to get it out again.
