When I was 12, my form teacher used to call us (the children) "Great pretenders."

I have forgotten the reason for calling us that... maybe we are good at playing innocent roles when we didn't do our homework...

You know.. the my-dog-eat-my-homework crap or my-baby-sister-poop's-on-it bull... Anyway, I have used neither excuses..

I don't even remembered telling a lie because of not doing homework.. I juz said I forgot to do.. is so much easier to tell the truth when everyone else is thinking up excuses...

But the point is.. the idea of the "Great Pretenders"..

Maybe.. maybe life is really about the great pretense. You go into roles of a colleague, classmate, friend, a sister or a brother, a daughter or a son, a girlfriend or a boyfriend, a husband or a wife.. n hope to play these roles seamlessly

But somehow along the way.. things always go wrong.. n a pretense can become a hurtful deception.. since after all.. you are juz pretending... do you mean those things you do?

Of coz... there muz be people who mean the things they do.. but maybe there are juz too few of them...

Anyway.. some guyz said this:

To pretend, I actually do the thing: I have therefore only pretended to pretend.

Maybe.. is not wrong to live a life of pretense after all... since we are pretending to pretend?!

Great.. I am going round in circle now...

Nevermind me..
