A Serious Question

[derivablezero]

Have you ever experienced something that you thought was one thing... and it turned out to be another? Or put your faith in something and thought that it would be okay, only to doubt it? Ever given someone your all only to take it back a few seconds later? Or watched them trash it? Tell me about any disappointments you have had. Make them big ones

I expected too much of one person. I wasn't the only one, though. Another one of close friends did. However, she was let down in a totally different way. She didn't realise that the person in question was two years younger than us, and thus less mature. I, however, misjudged the person's character. Well ... not so much "misjudged" as simple expected too much. I thought this person would be "above" -- for lack of a better word -- a certain idea-fad-thingy. But he/she wasn't. And it was quite the let down. Shattered my world for a while, in fact, because I had placed so much faith into this person.

It just reminded me why I attempt to remain distant from people. I don't trust them, don't show my "true self" to them. Yeah, it was just like a slap across the face telling me to go back to who I was. *shrugs*

C'est la vie.
