After nine years together, she told him she’d had enough.

With his world falling apart, he did the only thing he knew how, and held it all together.

This is the story of why.

It is a story about his storylines; about how he created his reality to be what he wanted it to be, what he needed it to be, and what he thought it ought to be; all by what he told himself.

It is not a story about his actual reality, and it most certainly isn’t about the truth.

The story continues.

It’s still a story about his storylines, and his storylines about his storylines,

It’s a story about his relationships, and his relationship to relationships.

It’s about his false beliefs, and his false reality.

He’d believed his feelings were his own, when perhaps they weren’t.

This is a story about uncovery; about who he is and how he sees himself, but it still isn’t about the truth.

COVID-19 changed our world.

It locked us down and restricted our movement, and isolated us from friends, family, and normality.

Liberties and freedoms were taken away, and we needed to find a new way to be, and a new way to connect.

I found my connection in nature.

The sky was my peace amongst the turmoil.

This #skyart project became my way of counting the days, even though I didn’t know how many days needed to be counted before the lockdowns ended.

It was a horrible time, and it was a beautiful time.

Charles Tyler lives in Victoria, Australia. Since childhood, he’s been fascinated by psychology, spirituality, and the power of identity. In 2010, Charles founded an art gallery for aspiring and emerging artists, and in 2020, he put pen to paper to write his first novel.

The Opposite of a Psychopath was part one of the trilogy and the realisation of a twenty-five-year writing project. The Opposite of an Empath is part two of the story.
