Just to recap...

I'm always right, even when my head and my heart are saying two different things. The beauty in that situation is that I'm guaranteed that one of the two has to be right. Usually it's my head, which leaves my heart broken. This weekend, it was my heart, which, admittedly, kind of left my head spinning, but in a good way. 

Smart people don't make the same mistake twice. I should have trusted in that fact way more than I did.

You don't get to be jaded and cynical by being wrong all the time. It does comes from being right about people and the ways that they disappoint you. The cure is opening yourself up to people and the ways that they can surprise you.

Even if two people want the same thing, it isn't always easy to make it happen. Especially when there's more than a little bit of cynicism, a huge misunderstanding, and a healthy dose of wounded pride. Sometimes being stubborn pays off, though, especially if you can match it up with a whole lot of patience.
