“There are no safe rooms, no safe truths, no safe secrets to tell.” Veronica Blade
Who Holds The Fantasy? Tell me, what isn't divergent, who holds the fantasy of singular truth, who believes the carbon smudge of news, do you begin from what you know or do you trust your enthusiasm for wanting to believe that you can compose your life from the elements of a surety that you actually know the vagaries of the cosmos right now, trusting in your belief of things, despite the amalgam of realities before you, knowing full well that everything bends, everything is disordered, and that there are always more ways diverging?

I’ve come to accept the fact that everything I once believed was a single truth in fact isn’t. That learning process started in college and continues to this day.

The opposite would be believing charlatans and fools in positions of authority.
