How to tell the truth about your life

The thing about life is that whatever you conceal is what owns you. It becomes the only thing about who you are, because it is the only thing that you will not let out into the world.

I totally agree with you jjt, they also lie 'cause their ego is stronger than their real feelings
What you share with others are not always true and that is okay as you don't want to make them depressed. As long as you don't try to lie to yourself as living in denial is not good.
it is an art to hide the truth with a smile and non hurting approach.
JJT If you suffer from Depression [I do] or if you are living in poverty, and you talk about it to friends. You will lose them quickly ! that is the sadness of life, it is like FACEBOOK, which is really FAKEbook.

People now are afraid to be real, its 'hello darling, cheek kissing, and pretence, very few people are authenthic.

I think I speak from the heart and am myself as much as anyone can be but I also know that if I start a blog here about not sleeping , distorted thinking, how I cannot get a job at my age, It will be a downer for evryone. but I get what you are saying and you are correct. Good blog.wave
I'mbackagain. Agree, it is an art form and There are many of us who should receive Bafta Awards for being fine Actors and actresses. Smile and the whole world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone... so so true. !!moping moping
