The world is full of people who are pretenders, fakers and great actors. People who use you to get something out of you or lie to you to keep on manipulating you.
You might know some of these people, you might even be one of them, but I guess you'll have to ask the people around you to get the answer to that question.
In my simple state of mind, I ask you all another question. Why would you want to be poser? Why would you want to fake your emotions, pretending to be something you're not? Do you enjoy to be someone behind a mask? Do you enjoy living a lie?
I sure as hell wouldn't.
Why not be the person you are all the time? How does that sound? Be the same person at work that you are at home, or at school, or at church. Be straight up about your feelings and emotions, tell someone what you think of them without posing or hiding. Show the world who you are and let them know the real you, not some made up version of you that you came up with while slinging the wine bottle around the house.
Some people may not like the real you, but when someone does show interest in you, you will know that it's for real.
Some people like to compare life to the ocean, open and wide with endless possibilities.
I think some days that they are right, but I'd like to think of that comparison in my own way. If life is the ocean, and we are the fish, I think we're still mammals that need to come up for air every now and then, because if we don't take a breather now and then, life will drown us.
Yes, there are some freak fishies around us who love drowning themselves in work or a bottle of the finest wine, maybe they're afraid of some fresh air and what they might find when they come up for it? Who knows?
And let's not forget the shellfish that seems to just clamp shut at any sign of the unknown. But can you blame them? It's how they were raised, if you want to blame something or someone.
One thing they don't realize, is that the current, which is life, doesn't wait for anything or anyone. It goes on and you can go with it or you can stay behind. Your choice!
