Wrapped up in lies

If I had to choose between drowning in an ugly truth or living in a beautiful lie, I would pick the lie any day of my life.

I would rather go through my days thinking the world is sunshine and daisies, looking at pictures of puppies and kittens, and drinking an iced coffee than being wrapped up in a world of truths. A state of delusional bliss is better than a factual nightmare.

Lies are only lies if you know they aren't true. I can imagine myself laying on a beach, sipping my freezing cold lemonade while the world crashed down around me and I had no idea. The amount of stress I'd be saving myself by acting as if nothing is going on- that is priceless.
