pretend.
Who are you?
No, really. Who are you truly?
You don't know? You're not alone; this is a world shaped by pretences and masks. Day by day we live increasingly for others, becoming different people to different acquaintances. Mask after mask, we develop new personalities to assimilate into different societies. How many of us can claim to be completely true to yourself? How far would you go to deny your entire being for the sake of acceptance? Is this hypocrisy? Obviously so.
Sometimes there is no choice, even if we want to be sincere. Sometimes we are forced by circumstance to become something we're not, to present a different self to others. The sad thing is that our society doesn't take kindly to people who are different in anyway. You don't blame the chameleon for changing its colours, because it has to protect itself from agressors. The same lies true here. The tragedy? Not everyone will understand this need.
There is a place in your mind where all your selfs congregate. And there the monumental conflict begins: which of them is you?
Eventually you will understand: You can fool the world, but you cannot fool yourself, or your heart. Because in there lies the one true answer. And that, is truly you.
