Disillusion

And there it came: disillusion. A blessing! A good thing! If you think of the deepest hidden meaning of the word disillusion, you will see it´s nothing more than dis-illusion.  Meaning one was living in a world full of illusion and now they are back to reality. Almost like if one was incubated inside a soap bubble and once it blows apart (because it always will), they are free to see the world as it really is again. No one wants to live in a fantasy world but still, once you are in it, you don´t realize you are raving. It is only by going through the process of disillusion, you can gain your sanity again.  Disillusion is the medicine, not the pain.

Some people can´t take drastic changes. They shut down and can never recover. And instead of going back to reality, they create a parallel world, as illusory as the previous one, and drown themselves in fear and anger. Well, not me! I will always take disillusion as an opportunity to build a new life; a better life, since a lesson was learnt.

Personally, I cannot understand why people are so afraid of disillusions. It is a beautiful process that has less to do with endings and more to do with beginnings. And there it came again: Disillusion, my dear, I have been waiting for you! My passport for freedom!
