There’s a split in my reality every morning and night. When what I see doubles into this hallucination like state, my brain is confused.

Summer Showers
When the clouds come overhead in the afternoon, remember that all days cannot be sunshine and blue skies. You can’t expect perfection when you know there will be rain. It’s okay, you can’t hear allthe good news you want in one day.
