Unpopular

in the past couple days, i've found myself saying things in conversation. things that i believe, but which are not popular to believe.

someone says to me, 'deep down everyone is lovable.' i disagree.

someone says to me, 'things always work out for the best.' i disagree.

someone says to me, 'you can never be too honest.' i disagree.

some people i will never love. some things do not work out for the best. i've been too honest.

and although it makes me feel like a curmudgeon to voice unpopular opinions, just because i live in california doesn't mean i have to swallow 'it's all good.' i like that things can be bad. it lets me recognize and rejoice when things are good; like now.
