At the end of the day, when you lay your head down and all the bullshit settles, the distractions stop. That’s when the monster truth crawls out. You might shake it off and sleep tonight—eventually, or even right away—but it’ll be back because you know. It knows.
For all the self-compassion in the world won’t shield you against the truth. There is no one to blame. There is no valid excuse. There is no rationalizing.
You know, and it knows—and that’s the nightmare.
Set right the wrongs. Put truth to bed.
You reap precisely what you sow.
Your life is in your keeping—your keeping alone.
