" sometimes real life doesn't ring true. "
-- laura dave
sometimes reality isn't realistic at all. sometimes we are so caught up in our expectations for reality, that we can't distinguish between what we find true and what we desire. but who decides reality? since when does everything in life have substantial reason behind it? it all depends on what we consider real life to be. if we consider real life to be the rational, mature way of doing things, then of course most of real life will not ring true. if real life is supposed to make sense, have understandable sequences, then I am positive real life rarely rings true.
this is where people have a hard time: when they try to decipher why something happened. sometimes things just happen, whether they truly make sense or not. sometimes things aren't supposed to make sense. personally I feel like we throw out curve balls that never make sense just to keep sense of reality. we let ourselves make choices; we let ourselves fall in love, we let ourselves fall out; we let ourselves hurt someone, we let ourselves get hurt; we let ourselves succeed, we let ourselves fail...why? because of reality. reality isn't one redundant plane, it's made up of everything we know.
reality is always true, until it goes against what we expect. how does that happen? I hate to say this, but the only way to go against expectations is by going against our desires. no matter what, the things we want will always drive the things we need, whether or not we realize it just yet.
