"Never underestimate the power of denial."
โ Ricky Fitts (American Beauty)
I now constantly test myself to see if I'm overlooking the truth. Refusal to admit reality or refusal to acknowledge an unpleasant truth can ultimately hold you back.
Often times, for me, it's not even a refusal. Certain situations or emotions I sort of just "I'll deal with that later" and then never do. I mean to, eventually, but just procrastinate it until it's a legitimate delusion
