Beginning XX

Change is the only aspect of my life about which I can be upbeat. From the moment we are born to the moment we pass away, everything changes. Our view of reality moulds who we are since reality has many twists and turns. Our entire lives are devoted to figuring out what is genuine and what is not. As each person's perception of reality is different, this is difficult to quantify.

Our view of what is real is influenced by our surroundings and the individuals we are exposed to. Our grasp of what is true and false, right and bad, real and unreal, lies in reality. Hence, our perception of reality may be altered. We may truly mistakenly believe that something is correct.

I received the worst paddling of my life, but I truly believed that my mother had abandoned me. The notion of the people I loved and who took care of me leaving me made me even more afraid of being alone.
