"The devil will slowly take everything from you... until he eventually takes your life."
This was something my grandma always used to tell me. To be honest, I thought the old woman was just rambling, but it turns out I was simply too young to understand. Still, her words never left my memory.
Or maybe... they refused to leave because, somehow, those words knew I would eventually understand them.
But it still hurts... God, it hurts that I have to understand them this way.
I guess ignorance truly is bliss.
