The conversations I share among Dolly and Halsey consistently bring me back to the reality ... Specifically those who want us to contend with and live in it. The whole world constantly tells a gal to get real. But what's the fallback when living in reality implies living in fear, pain, or a thousand miles apart from the ones you love? If the particular defense mechanism helps you make it through all of the difficult times, how bad or outlandish could it actually be? Maybe, the truthful reality is that denial is essential...

Terrific piece!
