He was full of wishes, dreams and promises that would never come true.

I'm ready for real.

It's not a fkn fairy tale. Life is demanding, grueling and unfair.

I can live with that.

And I can live without the disappointment of needless, implausible hope.

Real life requires real effort.

I never asked for perfect, I never asked for much at all except mean what you say or get out of my way.
