Idealistic, but I don't believe in equating realism with pessimism.

My expectations of people are too high.

Mom and dad are right about this.

But should I really be lowering my expectations just so I can not be hurt
And just so that I can become a more likable person without the thorns embedded since the very beginning?

To not expect is to not believe in the ones you choose to keep by your side.

To not believe in people is to allow your soul to die.

To kill your heart yourself is not what I believe in.

To seek those whom will not tug at your heart strings and twist it into a cruel knot is the way to go instead, is it not?

I'll be realistic. You guys are not whom will remain in my life.

But I'll keep searching. I'll not stop believing and expecting.

We shouldn't ever let what sparkles inside die just so we can continue living.

I don't believe in that.
