Most people can’t do it: cover up their true feelings, pretend to be something they’re not. But it doesn’t change who you are, or what you are. If you hate what you are, you’ll do anything to deny it. You’ll feed the lie until it becomes real.. but who you are doesn’t go away, it waits for you. We put so much work into hiding what’s really there: a new code of paint on rotted wood, creative accounting, the comb-over. But then you realize that lie you spent so much time crafting.. in the end, the only person your lie ever fools.. is you.
