Realist

1

  One quote I will always think of as the stupidest thing I've ever heard is, "it'll be okay in the end." First of all, I've heard of a lot of deaths that were less than okay. I've most certainly heard of adults living a life they regret and I don't think they'd call their life "okay." Second of all, life sucks a lot of the time. I'm positive that that quote was written to comfort people who are going through a hard time, which is something I definitely don't think is a bad thing. I just think that it's unrealistic.

Ah, another thing about me: I'm a realist.

People say that in this world, there are dreamers and there are realists. Guess which one I am.

I'm a person who thinks quotes are stupid unless they're logical. I think dreaming is wasting time. I think giant expectations are eventually going to end up as giant disappointments. Sucks, I guess.

This all sounds depressing and it makes me sound like a lonely teenage introvert. I mean, that's kind of what I am but it's not like I hate it. I like lonely nights reading and binge watching on Netflix and stuffing my face in future stomach insecurities. That's just me being a realist. I don't see the glass as "half full" or "half empty." I see a drink. But this is all a metaphor so it doesn't matter much anyway.

But where are my manners?

My name is Rose Eleanor Lawson. Not exactly a poetic, John Green kind of name but it works. Rose because my mom had some kind of sentimental connection with the flower, I think. Eleanor because my grandma was besties with Eleanor Roosevelt so she insisted that the firstborn girl's name would have Eleanor in it. I don't mind, I think it's kind of cute. And lastly, Lawson because in the United States, when a man and woman get married, it's a tradition for the woman to take the man's last name and pass it down to their children (which is exactly what happened).

Cool. We've been properly introduced.

Story about me is I am in a serious and committed relationship with my bed. Its my one true love and its what I want to spend the rest of my life with. Seriously.
