It'd Be Easier If They Just Went Away

We know better than to let people get too close too quickly. We know better than to trust most men. We know better than to take things for granted because, as soon as we do, they get taken away. We all know better but we do it anyway and then we cry. And it's our own stupid fault. Sometimes I wish we weren't so eager to please and give of ourselves because then we wouldn't feel slighted when things don't go as we hoped. Maybe if we stopped hoping, we wouldn't always be so disappointed.

I can so understand why people become alcoholics.
