Routine quirks

Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results.

I am not insane. I do the same thing over and over... BUT I get different results each and everytime - just that things get worse and worse with every attempt.

"So that makes you doubly insane," says that tiny, all-knowing voice in my head.

I'd like to think I'm just hopeful.

Hope is to secretly expect something without investing much effort to translate it into reality. When expectations are not met, you will be greeted with disappointment and subsequently, insanity will be your only friend.

This is so because you will keep doing the same thing over and over (which in this case is to hope), even if you know damn well that the outcome will remain unchanged... or worse off than before.

You know what they say; lonely people read what lonelier people write. That makes me twice as lonely, in theory. And much to my dismay, i believe it's a proven hypothesis - look, a fact of life.
