lies.

"I pretended too. Different things, of course. You can pretend for a long time, but one day it all falls away and you are alone." Jean Rhys - Wide Sargasso Sea.

sometimes, pretension is all there is, don't you think? you deceive yourself into thinking that you're a better person, that you will be unaffected by emotions or flaws that afflict those with a less righteous upbringing or a more mercurial temperament, that you will remain, in all things, true to yourself. 

"true to yourself." what does that even mean?

truth. bah.

you lie to yourself.

and sometimes, it's easier just to pretend.
