take flight

The harsh reality - someone who squanders your ambitions, and mocks your attempts at bettering yourself... doesn't actually love you. I woke up this morning, and realized this. The cold hard truth of something I wanted so hard to believe in, is really just a show. Just an attempt at normalizing something that has gone too far, has been too cushioned. I keep letting this naive hopes of a better future together cloud the reality that it is going to be a very long, hard, grueling road. What I need to remember is that, despite the rough beginning... every trail even's itself out eventually. It will be hard for awhile, I'll be stressed and scared and lonely and frustrated - but that will pass, as we all adjust to a new, better, healthier lifestyle. Don't try and hold me down, I'm only just beginning.
