Pretending

"why don't you wear those kinda clothes or shoes instead of having the same style all over again, day after day?"

I don't even bother trying to have my point across when being asked that question. I wear my jean's and skate shoes because I feel good in them. That's the real me at the moment. I'm not going to wear clothes that make me feel uncomfortable just to please people who expect other to fit in the "normal" way of being or whatever. I'd feel like wearing a carnival suit all year long. People tend to like to dress up in disguise and pretend they're someone else. That's a natural tendency. But we actually do that every single day. Depending on who's around, we have different reactions to the same factors, different answers to the same questions, different masks to wear. Some days you'll laugh to the jokes you don't think are funny, pretend you get along with that person to simply keep the atmosphere bearable enough to keep on surviving, but you'll end up bashing the same one whenever someone starts about them.

Hypocrisy. We all despise it, but we cultivate it. Paradox.

I lost track of my own thoughts, so this has to be shortened. Probably more about it some other time.
