I Hate Positive Affirmations

I hate positive affirmations because I don’t trust them. I know that if I accept this positive sign, I’m inevitably just going to be disappointed. Every time I see a ‘sign’, I just feel like I’m being trolled. I honestly think I just have bad luck when it comes to what I actually want. The universe, God, whoever is just fucking laughing at me whenever I want something. I just get sent signs and never anything tangible.

I’m sick of it. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you. It’s all smoke and mirrors. It’s all just a set-up. A set-up eloquently and precisely designed to make me feel embarrassed, to make me look like a fool. An elegant trap to get me to wear my heart on my sleeve so that it can be stolen and stomped on.

But I’m wiser this time round. Nice try. These nimble tricks won’t work on me anymore. The trap is less elegant and more sloppy. Poorly designed, poorly thought out. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you. I don’t trust you.

I ain’t about to get got.
