Who We Are

When it comes to who you are, there is no pretending. Because in the process of "pretending", you are living your reality. Thus never really pretending at all.

We simply tell ourselves that who we are now isn’t really who we are because we hope that one day we’ll become something better and be able to look back and say, "See? I told you so; I told you that wasn’t who I really was, THIS is."

But who we were then is really who we were. Just as who we are now is really who we are. Even if you become a better person today, that doesn’t change the person you were yesterday.

We just convince ourselves that who we are today isn’t really who we are so we can continue being that shitty person without feeling guilty. Because afterall, this isn’t REALLY who we are. Everyone will see – one day.

And all the while we go about living our lives as these shitty people and we can never change that. No matter how much we change throughout the years, it will never change who we were.
And one day, you’ll run out of chances to change who you are and all you’ll have left is who you were…
