Reality

Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass.

And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim.

The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long.

We are tired, we are scared – denying it doesn’t change the truth.

Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world.

Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It’s not just a river in Egypt, it’s a freakin’ ocean.

So how do you keep from drowning in it?
