***

One.

The day I stopped believing in God was just a normal day.  There was no brilliant revelation or epiphany, just life.

Two.

The day I stopped believing in family was the day I grew up.  There was no celebration or excitement, just cold realization.

Three.

The day I stopped believing in other people was the day I realized that they weren’t worth it.  There was no singular betrayal, just the accumulation of years.

Four.

The day I stopped believing in childhood fantasies was the day I began to rationalize everything.  There was no more fiery imagination, just quiet calculations.

Five.

The day I stopped believing peace was a possibility was the day I lost my purpose in life.  There was no longer the chance of making the world a better place, just my own insignificance.

Six.

The day I stopped believing in love was devastating.  There was no one to come home to, just the cold sheets of a single bed.

Seven.

The day I stopped believing in myself was the day I died.  There was no reason to left to live.
