I’d say I can’t believe what I just read but, no, that isn’t it. It simply won’t suffice or undue the injustice of what I came across before writing this.

After surviving nearly an entire 37 complete spins of the Earth around the sun, you start to learn some things. About life, the people in it, and what gets them through the toughest of days, nights, and times as a whole.

And if I’ve learned anything about any of the above for certain, it’s that human beings can be made to believe things that simply aren’t true. Statistically speaking this is obviously true, as I’m sure if you’re of an age where you’re capable of reading this, you already know personally because a few people have probably successfully lied to you throughout your life. Whether about the big things or ones that didn’t really effect you one way or another, or their intent was filled with malice and rooted in deception of the worst kind, or they just kinda hit ya with a friendly but fun “Gotcha!”, we’ve all been fooled before, correct?
