I hate coming into interesting topics late......

Yes. I can choose what I believe. I can tell myself that I'm in love, even when I know I'm not. I can tell myself that I'm the hottest guy in the room, even when I know I'm not. I can make myself believe that, even though the guy in front of me is a killer, I could take him down if I need to. And even though I'm not very religious, I believe that I'm going to Heaven.

Yes. Without being delusional, I can make myself believe. It gets me through the hard times.

 If you know that you're not, do you really believe it?

Yes. You'd be surprised.
