It's a funny thing, expectation versus reality. Expectation lives somewhere on the border of your biggest dreams or your worst nightmares. It's just a matter of perspective. You either expect something to go really well, or dreadfully awful. But reality is something much different.
Reality, its a bitch. But we all have to face it. It's something that never goes away, and it wins every single time. It's not some illusion you can happily float through, it's a fiery blaze that's going to burn you eventually, and in more ways than one. It's something you have to swallow, even if it feels like a million tiny shards of glass forcing their way down your throat.
