The Bad Stuff is Easier to Believe

One of my favorite lines from Pretty Woman is "The bad stuff is easier to believe. Ever notice that?" I think it's true. I realize how captive we all are to the worst visions and fears of ourselves. It bothers me how much I am sometimes unable to enjoy the good because I am almost paranoid of the bad stuff or the bad idea in my head. And it's weird because I would generally consider myself an optimist. But the bad stuff really is easier to believe.
