"In times, you'll find what's going on so terrible you'll try to tell yourself everything's gonna be okay and that something better awaits you. Something grand, something that'll make the now seem worth forgeting. It's almost a prediciton, an instintic. In response, circunstance (well... yourself, really), will try to convince you not to trust that instintic, not to think you're worth and that no one will ever see good in you. Do not believe that for a second. Nothing lasts."
