Fear is defined as an unpleasant, often strong emotion, caused by anticipation or awareness of danger.
We all fear the unknown. The inevitable.
We ignore this fear. Taking it as the emotion of the moment and dismiss it.
What we don't realise is that, it, is a part of us.
And it feeds on dismissal and ignorance, growing bigger every second.
We just can't ignore it.
'cause its always there.

Illusion is defined as an instance of a wrong or misinterpreted perception of a sensory experience.
A false idea or belief.
But what happens when you live in a world full of illusions?
Where the crowd can't distinguish reality from illusions?
That's right.
Shit happens.
***
I've had enough of this illusion world.
I want to escape it now.
Or end it.
And here's my story on how i actually did it.

The Illusion Trap
Reality is perhaps no more than a dream. But what happens if one day we ask ourselves if we are dreaming our own reality? Is the world we live in objective or a reflection of our inner world? The Illusion Trap invites us on a journey where the spiritual, philosophical and scientific search for answers are intertwined in a twisting, multi-pronged story. Throughout the plot, the veil is gradually lifted on the truths of a past lost in a mystical haze, and the question is outlined through a duel of opposites that build a dualistic world: where is the line between reality and virtuality, rationality and mysticism, oppression and freedom? If reality is not independent of us, can we ourselves shape our own world every day with our thoughts and feelings into what we want it to be? Is there free will and to what extent can we live it? This book does not offer definitive answers, but encourages you to ask, reflect, meditate and find your own truth. A story that can lead you to yourself - if you are ready to look in the mirror.
The Identity Crisis
I have forgotten what it feels like to be free. To have a voice. I can't say anything, or else they might catch me. My parents would never forgive me. I'll be arrested. Maybe even killed. Probably killed. We didn't open our eyes in time to see the train come barreling down the tracks. It crushed our freedom, burned our self-worth, and now we have to pay the price. All because we didn't see it coming. The American Constitution doesn't apply to us. All of the activists were silenced. And now it's all coming back to bite us. We'll just have to bite back harder.
