The beginning...

Sometimes you just have to stop pretending.

It took me 5 minutes to think of an "appropriate" name for this blogsite and 4 minutes to think of a title for this post. Not because I wanted it to be perfect.. not because it matters to anyone.. but simply because it should sound intellectual enough to instil a false sense of awe in anyone who might accidently trudge upon this filth.

Sometimes you just have to stop pretending.

Why is it difficult to admit to anyone.. more so .. to yourself.. that you're ordinary? You spend a whole chunk of your life with the people around you doting on your every move. Then one day, they stop. Not because they have no time but because they have no reason. You have metamorphosised into another insignificant speck trying to convince them of your wisdom.. your ability.. your past.

Sometimes you just have to stop pretending.

Most people pretend to be happy. I pretend to be sad.
