A feel for what’s real

By Gemma Abigail

I can never tell anymore whether what I am seeing is the truth or whether it is a figment of my imagination, curated from the edited society we have come to occupy. But what I do know is that I have always run and hidden from the answers. I didn’t want to know whether the truth was more painful, or would relieve the pressure.

But over time, I have come to see that, even though I run? It follows me, until I face it and come to terms with the problem.

And facing it? It is difficult. It’s stressful. But it’s also so worth it.

Because you might try to run from the truth, but knowing in the end? Being able to move on? That is the best feeling in the world.
