just a few weeks ago the future was to me a faceless mass of mist, reality seemed to be shrouded, clouded - the uncertainty; i can't say i like it (i am forever straddling the line between ignorance and truth) but i must say it provides a sense of comfort; a sense of peace. it's the knowing that anything can happen, possibility - truly, ignorance is bliss - it's like a pillow upon which you rest your unknowing head; a blanket which shields you from reality. but in it's own familiar way, reality breeds security. the irony! to be secure yet so fearful, to crave the freedom of choice yet to wish for predetermination, a twisted security in infinite obscurity.
