Exception Inception


"What is the most resilient parasite? Bacteria? A virus? An intestinal worm? An idea. Resilient... highly contagious. Once an idea has taken hold of the brain it's almost impossible to eradicate. An idea that is fully formed - fully understood - that sticks; right in there somewhere."


One does not really realize the potential power one gives someone else when one starts believing in them. Its like surrendering your complete persona to an external entity, but only worse. You don't even realize what you've done until apparently a bolt from the blue slaps you across the face. And that is a harsh reality you wake up to my friend.

"Well dreams, they feel real while we're in them, right? It's only when we wake up that we realize how things are actually strange. Let me ask you a question, you, you never really remember the beginning of a dream do you? You always wind up right in the middle of what's going on. "

Ah! but when you wake up from this blissful yet self-induced train of thought, you do remember the beginning, and the long walk to where you are standing today, sometimes with excruciating clarity, all the paths less trodden in the spur of the moment become crystal clear to you. All the mistakes you've ever made glare you back in your face and you are left in a fatal predicament. To break or bear... that becomes the question, the most important one that you need to address.

"You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together."
