Pretending

Sometimes I wonder why this world is so FAKE. Everybody's caking on makeup, wearing clothes they can't afford, to impress people they don't like. And nowadays it's so hard to discern a real friend from a for-now friend or even a while-I-need-you friend. It seems like everybody's got three personalities now: the one they use with their family, the one the use with the rest of the world, and the one they are. I'd like to think I'm totally real, but even I have aspects of my personality that I don't like, aspects I don't show anybody but my best friend. And even then, I'm worried about her judging me. Why can't we live in a society where nobody judges you? In a perfect world that would be the case, but our world is far from it. I wish that some days I could just stand up and scream, "THIS IS WHO I AM" without worrying about what other people would think. Everybody is so insecure, so we hide behind our designer-clothing shells, because they make us feel pretty. We're too proud to admit our flaws to the world. I wish it was different, I wish that everybody could just be honest about themselves and maybe decide on ONE personality, to show everybody.
