Love, or how to get through the day without killing yourself.

A friend once said, that the true path to happiness is to not get your hopes up, lower the standards.' You can never be truly disappointed, if you never expect anything in the first place', is what he used to say. Comforting words, although, I was never the one to have an abundance of it anyways, so I understand where he was coming from, in his own weird little way. I did take a look at this though, for a time. But in the end it was never agreeable. The problem is though, that you get so down on yourself, ideas like this seem like they do make sense.  And that, is when you truly fall.
