Shattered Illusions
Reality often betrays us with luminous illusions. We build our worlds upon these dreams, believing them to be solid.

The shattering can be gradual, leaving us vulnerable and searching for new foundations upon which to build.
Sometimes we emerge from this ordeal transformed. The pain of deception's demise can forge us into something greater. We learn to distinguish fact from fiction, and we develop a deeper understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

And sometimes, only in the depths of hell can we find our true potential.
