Pretend

There's really no point in puffing oneself up and adopting the identity of a stud macho ya-ya. It's bullshit and everyone knows it. People always tend to prefer real people instead of pretend-people. The key to success, then, is how to be real and still be who you are. Because people may not like who you are. And you DO want to be liked, don't you?

The reality is this, though: people may not like you. And it really doesn't matter. It truly, really, honestly doesn't matter. It only matters that you like yourself. What's that you say? What if you don't like yourself? Fuck, I don't know. That's a hard question with no satisfactory answers.

Pretend, I guess.
