Lies We Tell Ourselves
Everything will be okay
Just stay positive
Put faith in God
Everything happens for a reason
Don’t blame yourself
It’s all your fault
We did all we could
we can fight this
nothing will ever matter
It’s always darkest before the dawn
They were just doing their job
Nothing can be done
It’s just the way things are
Universal healthcare is pie in the sky
We care about you
This war will make us safer
Collateral damage is a fact of life
The end justifies the means
There’s always tomorrow
Never give up
You will never amount to anything
It’s the least we could do
Land of the free
American exceptionalism
The lies we tell ourselves

I love this
