The Awful Truth The Awful Truth

“Impermanence is, in itself, a search for self-discovery. The road incessantly questions your stability, asking who or what lies at the end. Things seemingly secure fall away, and you find the importance of them diminished. It is a common enough idea. You need something to “shake things up.” Stagnation breeds algae. But as Brent Colbert (The Awful Truth) shows us, some of the most trying things in this world come to us or leave us through wanderlust. The road, in all its symbological glory, is our escape from whatever it is we no longer want; hence the begrudging attitude Colbert seems to have for it. Some things he speaks about we don’t want to leave.”
