For me, therapy is the 45 minutes of my life where I can have just a taste of reality-- I can never drink enough. I can feel real for a little while, and then I have to leave, back into the world of surfaces and constantly shifting masks and lies. I feel like I am thirsting for the reality that I drink in gulps for a few precious moments each week.
