My words fell like a waterfall, and I weathered the storm that followed, but you provided no shelter. Maybe I hoped you were different, but I was blinded by a love I wanted...

&ldquo;Truth is always stranger than fiction. We craft fiction to match our sense of how things ought to be, but truth cannot be crafted. Truth is, and truth has a way of astonishing us to our knees. Reminding us, that the universe does not exist to fulfill our expectations. Because we are imperfect beings who are self-blinded to the truth of the world&rsquo;s stunning complexity, we shave reality to paper thin theories and ideologies that we can easily grasp &ndash; and we call them truths. But the truth of a sea in all it&rsquo;s immensity cannot be embodied in one tidewashed pebble.&rdquo;
