We're at this stage in life where we reminisce too much of our near past, worry too much about our near future, are
too clueless about everything that can, will, may happen to us, think we know alot, think we don't know anything,
am confident about the wrong things, take pride in wasting time away, want too much but want to do too little.
Ohwell.

Pretence
They say that when people go round pretending to be someone they aren't really are, it's because they want others to believe they're somebody else, a somebody. Some people want others to think they're nonchalant, they don't want others to know they care to know. Some people want others to think they don't have to try hard to get things, they don't want others to know they work hard. Some people pretend they don't know a thing, they want to appear cool, don't want to look like they've been paying attention, when actually they're eager to find out about things just like everyone else, reading blogs and whatnots.
Do we then still say they're pretending, it's still them we're talking about. They're like that. They aren't really pretending to be somebody else. It's in them that they appear to be different from what they think. They're just, like that. And they aren't exactly pretending. Because you can only pretend to be somebody else, you can't pretend to be yourself.
So I don't get how anybody can pretend to be what he/she is not really meant to be. Because no matter what, that person is still being himself when he pretends. That's paradoxical, because when you pretend, you're pretending to be somebody else, but when you pretend, you're being yourself.
Hence, I concluded the word pretend is senseless and does not mean a thing. Unless you're really pretending for the sake of pretending. Like when you're pretending to be a tree or a squirrel from a primary school play. Then you're really pretending, because you aren't a tree or squirrel.
But other than that, I think you get my point.
After realising so, I realised I shouldn't get too fed up with people whom I thought were fake because they. Just. Can't. Stop. Pretending. It's in them that they pretend, and so they can't pretend, no matter.
Okay actually this is just one stupid warped logic concocted to make me believe people are good.

ABT today made me overjoyed. The walking spastics are happy-therapy. :D
I'll talk more about it after Feohna sends me the pictures! :D :D :D
The next time I'll see them is probably after prelims. Sometimes I look at them and I wonder how they can possibly grow up in ten years' time. Spastic people seem like they can never grow up. HA.
Okay byebye. :D
