Week Fifty-four Prompt
Jun. 23rd, 2010 08:29 pmI've had to face a lot of unpleasant truths on my journey. Truths that almost broke me. Well, more than almost, but I've recovered as well as I could, considering the circumstances. I lived a lie for so long, it's hard to break myself of it. I know who I really am, but the vestiges of what I thought I was still exist. There's a part of me that still thinks that it was in SOLDIER, especially considering the skills I retained as a fighter. Or maybe I had that power in me the whole time.
To be honest, there have been times where I have taken lies that were brutal as the truth, but the truth occasionally was just as bad. I mean, what Hojo said and what was the truth…they both meant that I was living a lie in some way. At least Hojo's words weren't the truth and in some way they were more brutal than the truth, but in other ways, not as much. So, I'm not sure which is worse: the lie or the truth. But I think, in the end, that finding out the truth helped me more than being lied to.
