It's always comforting to tell yourself things are going to be alright, because even if a part of you senses that you're lying, it's comforting to shut it out- shut out reality and pretend- because pretending is nice.

About This Quote

This quote is very true. As humans, we are prone to self-deception. We can fool ourselves into believing that everything is fine when it’s not, or that everything will be alright because someone says it will be. It’s easier to think something is true if someone else says it, but this is all a lie. No one can guarantee the future, so you have to take the good with the bad.
