Let's face it. Life is just a cruel, heartless bitch who ruins people just for the fun of it. She momentarily gives them a glimmer of hope or happiness, then coldly cuts them back down again. They thought this whole misery business was a phase, and to be honest, so did you, but it never got any better. It was the start of an eternal downward spiral. Life is cruel. Dreams don't come true. We are living proof.
