I am at a point in my life where i don't need to pretend to be anything: who i am, who am friends with or how i feel. I am in search of what it means to be genuine and at peace with who i really am. I have abandoned the masquerade of living up to the expectations of others. I am instead exploring what it means to be truly and completely me; in all my amazing imperfection. Most people 'love' you for who you pretend to be, and to keep that love, you keep pretending. You get locked in an image, an act and the sad thing is people get attached to these masks and forget who they are beneath them; avoiding rather than confronting the world. And when you try to remind them, they hate you for it. I despise the rituals of fake friendship; we should just claw each others eyes out and call it a day instead of putting up huge radiant smiles and giving compliments until our teeth hurt from it all.
