The secret to true happiness is a combination of low expectations and insensitivity

This Olivia Goldsmith quote really got me thinking.

Maybe it's because it feels like my life is going upside down, inside out, Topsy turvy. Whatever the right words would be for it.
Words. They're never right. You never say the right things, only you think about them afterwards. You wish you would have said them. But for what? Words are just words. Or are they?
I've always over analyzed words. what people say to me. Ulterior motives. I wonder and wonder and wish I'd stop caring.
It's not wise to have expectations, humans, as a whole, are very disappointing. They don't say what they mean and they don't mean what they say. It's rare to find those few genuine people... and even then... those people will let you down, too.
Ahhhhh. pessimistic much?
The worse is when you feel like you are that disappointment. Like you've let people down. How, unwillingly, you let people down. It's the cycle. Unwillingly, we let each other down. Sometimes in order to keep ourselves happy, sane, healthy we have to let go of others and their emotions and let them down.
And it feels good. Bad and Good. Like finding mixed fruit jelly at the supermarket and then realizing that it's mixed with peanut butter. And you hate peanut butter, but damn is that mixed fruit jelly good.
