Cheshire Smile

"Never prepare for the worse, because you will always still hope for the best.

Knowing what you’re getting yourself into doesn’t actually soften the fall or make the bruises any smaller or the pain any less painful. In some ways, I think knowing actually makes it worse because deep down inside, you’re just really hoping the situation will change (..or that he’s going to change) but when that doesn’t happen, you fall down even harder. And it hurts, so much more."
