Then there was a common response from mercuryrising & ALG which looked to me like what they did was grab a tablet of paper and write in big letters at the top: CHAPTER TWO.
There was a third, to accept the story isn't real. Regardless of if it is sad or happy, full of abundance or replete with lack it isn't real. Precisely because of this unreality - you can let go so easily and choose something else.
