But, I don’t think you would even bother contradicting me on this one after this post.
This is a piece I’ve been meaning to write in a while now.

Tell me you haven’t experienced it. You are probably lying right now.

All of us have pictured exactly a first date, a trip abroad or even a sexual encounter.

How many of those times the final result has failed us over and over and over again??

Say it with me: COUNTLESS TIMES
That happens for a reason nevertheless.

We have the tendency to build up situations so much inn our heads that reality can barely compare.

Why?
