[Challenge #391: Comment] Friends: 'Reality'

Title: 'Reality'
Fandom: Friends
Characters: Phoebe Buffay
Word Count: 100

Summary: A lack of understanding can lead to distrust and cruelty.


Phoebe is well aware of her own alterity. It's hard not to be, when even those closest to her comment on it, now and then. At least her loved ones are kinder than some other people she's encountered. A lack of understanding can lead to distrust and cruelty.

Not that others' opinions mean much. Being liked is good, but liking oneself is more important.

So Phoebe continues to wander through her life, looking at this thing called Reality through her own special lens. Maybe it's escapism, or maybe it's a better way of viewing things.

Anyway, it certainly isn't boring.
