You ever think you might be holding yourself back by being too realistic?
[ Everyone should be a little more delusional. As a treat. ]
Even when things are looking bad...

I meant it pretty generally, but I think it still applies. I'm not unreasonable though. I'm not gonna tell you to just jump off a cliff and hope for the best or anything like that.
Just gotta keep morale up when we're stuck in a tin can for the next six weeks.

It was... some time ago, I think when we got them... I don't remember much at all about a ring...? [ they do kind of give her a mildly miserable post-migraine look. ]
