Control is an illusion of our minds' to manipulate what we see and interpret it so we can understand and be more welcoming. It is a way for humans to associate their world inside of their little box so they can live in relative peace. What happens when someone...or something opens that box and plays with what's inside? Is that where insanity starts?

Royal Blood
I thought I knew my world. The people in it, the secrets they held, their intentions. . . Turns out I didn't have a clue. They lie and deceive and manipulate you without you knowing. You let your guard down around the people you trust the most, only to have them stab you in the back. Some say ignorance is bliss, but I say ignorance is death. Because not knowing things gets you killed.Complete

The Illusions of control
The Illusion of Control: A Description The illusion of control is a psychological phenomenon where individuals believe they have more influence over events and outcomes than they actually do. This cognitive bias often leads people to overestimate their ability to manage situations, particularly in contexts characterized by uncertainty or randomness, such as gambling, investing, or personal relationships. At its core, the illusion of control manifests when individuals attribute successes to their own actions or decisions while downplaying the role of chance or external factors. For example, a gambler might believe that their strategy or intuition can sway the outcome of a game, despite the inherent randomness involved. Similarly, in everyday life, someone may feel that their meticulous planning guarantees a successful event, overlooking the unpredictable variables that can arise. This illusion can provide a comforting sense of agency and empowerment, allowing individuals to navigate life's complexities with a greater sense of confidence. However, it can also lead to overconfidence, reckless decision-making, and frustration when faced with outcomes that defy expectations. Recognizing the limitations of one's control can be crucial for making informed choices and accepting the uncertainties inherent in life. In essence, the illusion of control highlights the delicate balance between our desire for agency and the reality of unpredictability, urging us to reflect on the factors that truly shape our experiences.Complete

Still Thinking About You
It was supposed to be one night. 'You fuck, then you leave. Simple' Right? But nothing was simple with them. She wanted this. Dreamed of it. Crafted it in the dark corners of her mind, waiting for the moment she could reach out and take-him, the night, the power. And she did. But desire is a wicked thing. Control is a illusion. And the universe has other plans. A story of power, unstoppable desire, and the destruction that tastes like a drug.
