I guess Im good at putting up a good front.

I dont know how you stay so positive, one of my friends told me once.

I could have laughed.

Times may be hard, but hard times never last forever.

Things will get better.

Okay, lets be serious.

Do any of us have any idea what were talking about?

I made it out happy, and you will, too.

Newsflash: its bullshit.

I cant promise you anything.

I dont know if everything in the universe will just fix itself naturally.

But who wants to hear that?

For someone to promise us that things will be okay in the end, even if they wont be.

That in the end, our struggles were worth it.

And maybe they are worth it.

Who am I to say theyre not?

Isnt that part of the beauty of life?

We dont really know where were going up, down, backward or forward.

We all want to believe we have them.

And nothings wrong with believing.

Nothings wrong with hoping.

If we have a 50-50 chance that things will turn out okay, why not bet on that?

Maybe having hope is the first step toward tipping the scale in your favor.

So no, I dont really know how your relationship is going to turn out.

I cant even begin to fathom whatll happen in my life.

But you know what?

Things will get better.

Id like to believe it.
