is it time to go get the book yet? *bounces up and down*

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 denail 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?

If people bring so much courage to this world, the world has to kill them to break them, so of course it kills them. The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartically. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry. But we were never lonely and never afraid when we were together. Hemingway, A Farewell to Arms
