Gotta go with stupid.
It’s not the easy way out. Self-pity is the easiest thing in the world. Finding the humor, the irony, the slight justification for a skewed, skeptical optimism, that’s tough.”
― Katherine Applegate, The Proposal

“when you have a lovely but bitter past with someone and happens to meet them. Keep it light. Keep it short. Most of all, keep them, away.”
