A brain dump
Optimism is not always enough. It helps, but sometimes, I just want things to go easy for a bit. If I knew that a single moment of trusting someone could lead to a lifetime of struggle, I would not have been so trusting, or at least not so generous with my trust. But spilled milk…

Some find solace as the years progress. Some find love. Some find an emptiness where space was once held in hope for a significant other.
