No one ever tells the whole truth. Even if you mean to, you are telling it through the distorted lens of your own perspective. My brother and i have wildly different memories of our childhood. Same house, same parents, but if we sat down to write our family history, we'd both be telling the truth, but the stories would be oh so very different. So, truth is relative to a degree. Unless you're under oath in a courtroom, or trying to write a history book, I don't see much reason to worry over the literal details.
I live in a slightly altered reality most of the time, by choice, simply because i prefer it to the truth. Truth is never true and it hurts and it's boring. When it comes to art, just write what the words want to say. Art covers all of it. If you want to write the truth, that's fine. If someone else wants to write only lies, that's fine too. The only rule is to do it well.
Oh, and my guess is dodecahedron, but only because it's fun to say. And this is a weird game.
