"Facing the truth isn't easy, but it saves so much energy -- energy you could be using much more profitably. So put aside those rose-colored glasses for now. You need to take a good, long look at what's really going on."
I would say I have a pretty good handle on what's really goin on as far as all the stuff in my life is concerned right now, and hardly any of it is fuckin rosy. What exactly am I supposed to be spendin my energy on, anyway?
