Why keep it real?
They always say "when you get older, life gets real..." As I've gotten older, life seems to show me its faker than what i assumed. Grown adults, are stuck in fantasy marriages, relationships. The food is fake. The friends are fake. The govt has its own fake flawed policy. A new car, can be a rebuilt title. A house is just a different rental committment. Your teacher abuses her kids. etc. When I was younger, I thought playing pretend would come to an end. _____________-------------------------------------___________- I used to be very truth telling, at anytime in any conversation, even if it means hurting anyone to say it but now, the realest concept ive had to grasp was.... being real with myself. There's no point in keeping it real with people, or busting your head open to push a point in someone, where it is pointless. Rememeber those times you kept it "real" with [the wrong] people? They rebranded you as weird, crazy, gay, evil, stupid, slutty, dumb, broke, etc... nothing good. Or maybe they told everyone your 'realness' as gossip. So theres only benefit in keeping it real with yourself. Theres not much room beneficially to share realness with the fake world. Does this mean that youre the only real person on eartH? No. Because Im sharing this to anyone who is real enough to relate.
