Bubble-not-gum

Pro-tip: Read slowly.

And “Pop!” it went. (Photo by Kyaw Tun on Unsplash)

There is one bubble that you form around yourself.

Then, there is another bubble that people form around you — mistaking it as a protection shield from their otherwise perceived reality.

While dedicated to the process, they fail to understand that in reality:

It’s a bubble.

Eventually, it will burst.

There is no easy way around it.

So, if you do end up forming a bubble, burst it sooner than later. The reality that seeps in will be easier to cope with and accept. (Or, at least you can hope for it.)
