Here With Me
It looks to me as if everyone had a great, if not historic 2005. I reckoned many aspects of our lives only began to reveal itself after secondary school. From what I can conclude, most of us feel contented with ourselves. Or at least appear to be. Who knows what goes on underneath the surface eh? All the things we repress, all the things we make-believe and all of the things we shun away from.
Sure, we learnt a lot from the past twelve-month period. It is just that I highly doubt any significant changes will occur this year unless previous miscalculatios has left scar tissue. I noticed that people often tell themselves what they want to hear and remind themselves of what they have and should be grateful for. There is of course, absolutely nothing inapt about that. It is just an observation that leaves me pondering over the veracity of it all.
Is it better to live under a pretence so long as you are happy or is it better to face the truth and experience the potentially miserable circumstances? I used to live by, as many of you may already know, a catchphrase that goes 'If you got it, flaunt it. If you don't, pretend'. But then I realised, what good does that do? It is a total state of denial.
My point? Be frank to yourself.
