You're looking at the glass half-full... You see me as an optimist, but maybe I'm just naive. I don't know which is better. To be blind and optimistic– to wear rose-colored glasses and allow yourself to be vulnerable– or to be realistic and cynical? To be prepared for someone to disappoint you? To have your guard up and not be taken by surprise? Being an optimist doesn't make you blind. A cynic can be blind too– in even worse ways. A cynic can miss out on something wonderful because they only see the dark side of it, so they steer away from a good thing because they expect it to go wrong eventually.

Sometimes I feel like I trusted you too well Sometimes I just feel like screaming at myself Sometimes I’m in disbelief I didn’t know Somehow I need to be alone

Be soft. Do not let the world make you hard. Do not let pain make you hate. Do not let the bitterness steal your sweetness. Take pride that even though the rest of the world may disagree, you still believe it to be a beautiful place.
