Reality

The reality is reality is too painful.
This is why we spend so much time trying to escape reality.
Escaping reality is futile also, because the reality is...
Reality is reality.

At some point you have to either acknowledge what 'is' or you will spend your life trying to escape it. Escaping reality doesn't change what 'is' - it merely takes you in another direction so you can avoid dealing with what the reality is.

When we acknowledge reality we have something we can work with.
In accepting reality we say, 'Well things aren't great, in fact they're @#$%'.
Maybe that's the reality.
From here, hopefully we can get to the point of 'Things are @#$%, now what do I do?'.

The question, 'Now what do I do?' is something that you can work with. Words can be spoken and action can be taken in order for things to be different.

What is the reality that you do not want to accept today?
What is it that scares you about accepting this reality?
What could be different if you tackled it rather than running away, escaping, distracting yourself etc. etc.?
