I Should Never Get My Hopes Up

It Has Never Done Me Any Good.

In almost twenty years, getting my hopes up has gotten me nothing.  Just like tonight, just like any other night or day.  From now on, I shall take on an attitude of pessimism.

    Yes, I know exactly what you mean. My motto is now: Expect the worse, but hope for the best.

    Yeah I know what you mean. I just hate when I get so excited over something and something ruins it.

    I agree with you! For me, it seems that every time i begin to look forward to something, another thing gets in the way. So after time, I just stopped hoping. But I got advice from a friend who told me not to get my hopes up, but not to give up hope either. I'm actually beginning to understand what she meant by that.
