The Truth of the Reality

So it is all true. You come to a certain point in your life and then you realize you are becoming that very person you did not want to become. It's like when you were young and you see a someone or something in a rather bad or awkward situation, and you tell yourself you'll never be that person. That you'll never be in that same situation. You think of what you would do different if God forbid, you would ever for some reason find yourself in that situation. Then you grow up and you do find yourself in the very same situation that you swore you would never be in... Let me tell you... The truth of the reality is very humbling. All those different solutions you thought of long time don't seem to make sense anymore. You realize that way back when you saw that person in that situation, you really didn't understand what that person was going through. And now you are faced with the same situation. In that very person's shoes... The truth of the reality is cold water in your face in the morning at your deepest sleep. It is that screeching cry in the quiet of the night. It jars you, and scares you. Understanding is one of life's hard lessons. Only learned through experience.
