9/22:I Want to Believe

Trust can be difficult terrain to traverse. We, generally, want to believe the best in people. Experience makes us wary of so many things. I want to believe you and your lies. I want to believe in a higher power or an afterlife. I want to believe the universe holds more than what this planet has taught us. I want to believe... Life, logic, and pain often paint a different picture, one that keeps us safer or less vulnerable. Can we keep hope through it all or is that desire to believe the illogical our very demise?
