What happens when...

you're in constant denial till the truth becomes unrecognizable? you think you are but you're not? you are fed with lies again and again? you are faced with the truth but you know it ain't completely true? you want something you don't need? your instincts overrule reality? you know you can win but you don't bother to try? you choose faith over truth? you just stop?

You climb back up. Slowly but surely, they say.

Or you compromise.

Or take that one shot and just believe in everything you've got.
