#prentending

[razreads]

I don't want you to keep pretending you're okay. I don't want you to keep downplaying the hurt you feel like you're not even human. You keep it up - all these lies to yourself, to other people, and soon you're not going to know who you are.

One of the best lines I’ve written was, Pretend you don’t care she might. That sentence hits hard. In context, I’m saying, pretend you don’t care she might care about you. Everytime I read it it hits hard. Because I relate to it so much. Pretending that I don’t care that someone might care the slightest bit about me. It’s hard. Which makes that line even more important to me

No puedes pretender que todo esta bien, al menos no toda la vida.

How many faces do I have to peel off before I can get acquainted with the real you.

What do we ask of friendship except to be taken for what we pretend to be — and without having to pretend.

I don't understand why people like me so they must be pretending because, let's face it I'm a whack job.

I can't pretend...

I can't pretend I still don't love you I can't pretend that I don't feel what I feel This feeling eats me up inside, knowing that behind my smile, I breaking down, almost crying out for you to embrace me. When we would make up after an argument, it would be the past and we'd move on... I wanted that to happen again. But I knew that this time... this time my chances of success were slim, so I didn't even try. I knew that this time, me putting my pride to this side might end up making me look too eager to work things out. I knew that this time... I had to be strong, in hopes that you'd come to your senses and realize what you've lost and the potential that was to come.

It sucks pretending to be mentally strong because no one ever asks if you are ok.
