It was supposed to be bigger and brighter. It was supposed to be right.

It wasn't supposed to feel so wrong, and it wasn't supposed to taste bitter. And it wasn't supposed to end up hurting so many people.

Maybe I was wrong to think it would be this way. Maybe I should have listened to them.

But I didn't, and I never thought it would be quite like this.


And on the flip side:
Wow. I never thought it would be this great. I never thought it would feel so right and good.

I never imagined that everything would work out like this. And I never thought it would be quite like this.
