Daily, the heat is turned up. I realize I have effectively surrounded myself with a thin survival membrane, keeping the inner obscured while holding the outer world at bay. But the pressure is too great. The perfect sphere of my coping mechanisms begins to rupture. I don’t know the creatures bursting from my psyche. Are they buried doubts and fears, or are they opportunities? One thing is certain: my reality is irrevocably altered.
