There is little truth in the world. Some will twist and turn a snaked path to evade truth’s cold light. There is a fatal flaw in mankind; our tendency to trust, to love. I have seen empires that I tortured myself for burn at the whim of a woman’s heart.

A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.

I have spent too long smoking cigarettes in darkened rooms, worrying about what will be. I have spent too long in the arms of women who didn’t love me. I have spent too long in the arms of women I didn’t love. I have spent too long being trusting of liars and thieves, only to have never been proved right. I have spent too long inside my own head. I have spent too long on trains and planes for people who may have truly never cared. I have spent too long letting the little things get to me, devour me, reach up from the pit of my stomach and force me to wretch with anger. I have spent too long believing that everybody is as good-natured as myself, that honesty is a common goal. I have spent too long working on words and rhyme, working on structure for it to be overlooked. I have spent too long making friends that are a means to an end. I have spent too long forgiving but never forgetting. I have spent too long trying to pick up too much, too quick. I have spent too long in theatres, surgical or otherwise, looking for god. Time is fleeting.

I don’t really feel like I can win in this situation. I’m not happy with my course at uni in the slightest, but there’s no real alternative at home. The only job that I’m certain I could have if I left is so physically and emotionally draining and not something I really want to be doing for the rest of my life. But then again having a degree is something that is becoming more and more worthless, especially psychology because for me to get a job in that field I’m going to have to at least do a masters after my undergrad degree. Decisions decisions.
