No Eyes Wide Shut!

Happy New Year, 2015 is here to stay. One more year older. Three-hundred-sixty-five days have come and gone. We are one year wiser. Not quite true for all of us. We know who we are. Forever young, forever innocent yet so damn deceiving. Anyone would rather live a fantasy than know the truth. Your husband is not cheating on you, your wife didn't spend $300 gambling, your kids are not out drinking and drugged while you are paying their college tuition. Life is too hard to face. Let's make it a New Year's resolution to face the truth in 2016. Huh, we all know the success rate of those resolutions. In 2016, if we can dull the pain enough, we can ignore the truth for one more year. Oh, what a piece full of negativity this is ma'am. Why are you not happy we have a new beginning? The sun has risen and has now set. It's a new start. Give humanity a chance. Give yourself an opportunity to believe. Give your children the chance to survive and live happy lives. On the contrary, I have given them the best chance possible by preparing them for reality, cruel reality. They don't believe in fairy dust and knights in shinning armor. Due to this simple step I took to show them the ugliness of reality, they will survive and fulfill their life desires. They will not live to satisfy x or y. They will live to satisfy themselves, New Year after New Year. I love my children; so, I taught them to look through all the shit, the soot, the gunk. They, MY children, will not live with their eyes wide shut!
