Too Good to be True

You know how we say, 'It is too good to be true?' How when something so wonderful happens that we can't help but thank our stars and feel so overwhelmed that we have to utter with joy: Oh, you are too good to be true!

But do you know what the actual, original phrase is? It's, "If it's too good to be true, then it probably is." I don't know why we take out the last half of the quote. We choose to focus on the half truth and not face the reality. Like I did. Perhaps, I didn't get the memo - I didn't realize that when someone is too good to be true, he probably isn't. I am a stupid girl who believed it when he said he loved me. I was the stupid girl who didn't see the heinousness behind those cute eyes I adored. I gave in, I fell hard, and was trapped in his spell that I couldn't look beyond him. I couldn't see what he was doing to me. I couldn't decipher his plan. I couldn't see how he would use the doll that I was and then throw me out in search of another prettier one. Perhaps because he liked blond dolls and I am dark haired. Perhaps because it was all a game for him - my emotions, my life, was nothing but a game to boast in front of others. Perhaps he thought that somehow he would be more of a man if he could conquer me. Perhaps because he always thought I was stupid while telling me how smart I was. Perhaps because I really am stupid.

If it is too good to be true, dear readers, it really is. Always, always remember that.
