Hello Reality, My Old Friend

Isn’t it funny? For one small second, everything feels picture perfect. For just one small second, nothing in the world matters. But then, when you’re sitting alone, staring at the blank wall in front of you, it hits you. Reality. And not just a little love tap, oh god no. Reality hits you hard, with no remorse. And then suddenly, everything that made that split second feel perfect doesn’t matter anymore. Because quite frankly, reality doesn’t give a fuck if you’re happy or not. She’s a cold-hearted bitch who wants to remind you about the crippling pile of debt you’re carrying around when you’d rather be thinking about your new relationship. She’s the grade school bully who wants to remind you that your lifestyle choices aren’t what they should be and how the rest of the world is surpassing you. Just when you finally think you see the light at the end of the tunnel, you get close enough to see it’s just the gleaming eyes of reality looking down at you. And darling, there is no escaping, no matter how hard or fast you run.
