I think this acceptance of truth can be applied to so many situations.

I loved your post by the way.

I chose to live in illusions and ignore truth. The real pain that we hide underneath can be buried by illusions and dreams.

The truth however, just is.

i.e. you won't become an olympic diver, you can't be a Hollywood star. he just isn't into you. etc.

I don't mean to hijack your post, but your ideas have profoundly affected me. Thanks.
