monologues

"They don't yet know that the good don't always win, so there's nothing you can say to cheer them up when they lose. I want to tell them disappointment doesn't last, but from what i've seen disappointment lasts like hell." - Mitch Mahoney (Putnam County Spelling Bee)

If I read this today, it would have had much more sense to me since i finally figured out what it means.

"Bad things do happen. Happiness in the face of all... that's not the goal. Feeling horrible and knowing that you're not gonna die from those feelings. That's the point." - Grey's Anatomy

So I guess this answers Mitch Mahoney's monologue.

do not set yourself up for disappointment

my friend has this mindset that you should never expect that things will go the way you plan it. he also believes that you should never get attached to the people around you. these things seem too negative and i used to be against that kind of thinking. but then now that i think about it, they are ideas that I should start imbibing.

i should not expect because i will be the one who will be disappointed when things do not happen the way i imagine them to happen. people change. and as my friend said, 'nagstastart na.' time to imbibe. woohoo!
