In the open air

Is the truth depressing? Some may find it so. But I find it liberating, and consoling. When I belived that my existence was a further fact, I seemed imprisoned in myself. My life seemed like a glass tunnel, through which I was moving faster every year, and at the end of which there was darkness. When I changed my view, the walls of my glass tunnel disparates. I now live in the open air.
