We can all be perfect We can all pretend that we are good…

“We can all be perfect We can all pretend that we are good to impress others Sometimes we either lie to ourselves nor to others We hide things because we are embarrased for things we have done And what happends then? What happends when you have earned your mate's sympathy? What happens when you…” quote by Ilona Kharitova

““We can all be perfect We can all pretend that we are good to impress others Sometimes we either lie to ourselves nor to others We hide things because we are embarrased for things we have done And what happends then? What happends when you have earned your mate's sympathy? What happens when you start forgetting about your lies and you behave strange ? Strange for the mate of course cause for you, you are just being yourself. This act of yours may last a day, a week, a month or maybe a year... it depends on how great actor you are. Eventually you will lose your mate You will lose a person on which you have spent a lot of time just trying. It is sad isn't it? This person will hate you and after all you will become alone again. So what i have to say here is this Be always yourself not the one that others may want you to be Be honest and not the perfect lier Express yourself just like you feel I know it is hard but , just consider this Why to spend so much time on a single person who eventually will not accept you as you trully are Why to lie and disrespect yourself, your character and all that you have accomplished untill this day? Honesty is painfull, pain makes you strong, being strong makes you successful and if you succeed you will be happy. Isn't this all about your happiness?””
