Never underestimate the power of denial, and I mean it. Never!
Its how we (humans) unconsciously (sometimes consciously) cope.
Denial is that brain heuristic, a shortcut, that gives us the ability to get out of bed in the morning.
To live again. It paves the way to forgetting. Like packing your thoughts and putting them away on that high shelf that you can't always reach. Denial is how we move on.
Denial is that 40 something year old woman living in her 20s
Its that couple sitting on the couch watching TV in silence on a Sunday night, co-existing
Its that girl sitting on his lap ignoring all the messages on his phone
Its when you're at a Gucci store with a maxed out credit card
Denial is when we know they're right, but we don't listen
Its when you go through that "they don't understand, I know better" thought process
Its when you're scared shit-less about a lifestyle change and you put a calm face on
Its when you don't really remember the night but you had a "good time"
Denial is when nothing is a big deal anymore
When you've been through it all and you start to think its normal
When you think you're winning but somehow all you left is breadcrumbs
Its when you think your Facebook friends are your real friends, cyber world
It's when you're madly in love and you think you're making rational decisions, blinded
It's when you miss them so much but you think your life will be fine without them
It's when everything is "okay" but you're reaching for the bottle
It's when "nothing changed" and everything is not the same
Denial. Never underestimate the power of denial. At least don't be in denial about that.
