When I was younger, I used to believe that everything I saw in commercials was true. That kids who consumed Gushers candy could actually make their heads turn into exploding watermelons, and that Skittles really did magically pour out of the ends of the most peculiar rainbows. When I see these oh so memorable commercials air now, I laugh and think - what precious naivete. But really, am I still that way in certain respects? Believing everything people say to me, not questioning motives or people's character unless otherwise forced to? Believing that "I Love You" means I am loved, that nobody has deep darks quite as deep and as dark as I do? I can't quite comprehend the confusion regarding the magnitude of specific actions and words spoken, and how saying and doing are two separate entities in the minds of those who are confused. If I love you, then god damn it I love you.
