I’m a realist

I’m a realist. Which some people may mistake as a pessimist. Is the glass half full, or half empty? I don’t know, but I’ll probably finish my drink before the waiter comes. You know, that kind of thing. I am definitely a worst case scenario kind of person–prepare for the worst, hope for the best.

So those who loved me tried to shield me from constant hurt, by teaching me that things don’t always work on like we want them. Good things happen, but so do bad.
