Why do people still believe in angels? I don't know. Well, I guess I do, I just can't relate to those beliefs.

I didn't believe in that idealized view of relationships when I married my husband (close to nine years ago) and I haven't been disappointed. I expected we would have our fights and our times when we couldn't stand each other and we did. And I would say our relationship is better now than ever. Honesty, even if it's painful sometimes, is better than bullshit any day.
