"It can be the most grating thing in the world when we're hit with the shocker of a lifetime. The sudden betrayals, the terrible secrets, the debilitating game-changers, it's all one big wrench thrown into our lives. The worst part is that we could already be a mess and these only make it even more messier. On the other hand, we can't live in a bubble. It might be nice, cozy, and safe, but that also means we don't see the full picture. A frame of some girl dancing in the moonlight could be hiding a crowd of perverts watching with guns, so in reality, she's dancing for her life. A scary world we live in. Here's the thing: Reality shocks really suck, except we can't hate them too much since they also bring relief. In the words of a certain beautiful song, Once we were blind, now we see all. For those who have been secretly destroying us: Watch out. Once the tiger is awake, once the fire is lit, nobody is safe. Especially from the truth."
– Johnny Kane
