Looking back on things, we never seem to think there was a way we would get where we are, whether it be good like achieving all of our dreams, or bad like having not a single friend and feeling stuck in some black cloud.

We never really think about how bad things can get; when we are happy we look into the future with a bright smile believing that everything will be even better then, that nothing will go wrong, and that everything will be fine. We think this way until one day we are gripping the sides of our bathroom sink, drowning in our own tears, as our lungs feel as though someone is pouring cement into them and they are slowly hardening and wonder: how did it get to this? How did everything we ever knew turn into something we never did? When did the lies begin? When did the chivalry die? When did we let our guard down so fully, that we began to believe everything they said? When did we let our heart become so vulnerable, so thoughtlessly free so as to be taken and abused without even knowing it?

How did it get to this; when just yesterday they would look us in the eyes and pour their heart out, saying how much they loved us, how much they wanted to spend the rest of their lives with us, how they couldn't wait to move out with us, or how we were the only one for them?
