#animals suck

And for that person to take you from prepared for the worst to hopeful, that person is just another blatantly obvious reminder of why it's just so fucking easy to not give a shit about anyone, to not rely on anyone but yourself, to not get attached to anything (people, ideas, items, values, locations, relationships) because everything and i mean EVERYTHING in this world is relatively temporary. Because everything, your body, your mind, your shelter, your security, your relationships, your opinion, someone else's opinion, they can all change in a heartbeat. And it only takes a heartbeat for everything to go wrong. And to everyone that has ever tried to stop me from steeling myself against these changes because you want me to "open up" or "look at the bright side of life"

FUCK

YOU

You wanna know a direct side effect of only looking at the bright side is? Disappointment. Brutal and emotionally draining let-downs. Pessimism/realism has never caused me any unhappiness and the only side effect to expecting the worst is pleasant surprise.
