If I successfully finish this post in the next 18 minutes, it will be midnight. Which means I get exactly 5 hours of sleep before pretending to be awake.
Amazing how much of our lives we spend pretending.
Things we pretend we want to do. Jobs we pretend we enjoy. People we pretend we want to be with. Goals we pretend we want to achieve. Ideas we pretend to believe.
And we go along all fine and happy until someone finds out we are big fakers.
Hurts the most when we realize it ourselves. Or when our house of cards comes tumbling to the ground or blows away in the wind while we are happily pretending.
Do you ever miss the days from when you were a kid and it was okay to pretend?
Forget being a princess with a magic wand or a fairytale prince. I was James Bond. 007. Gadgets. Cool cars. A life of adventure.
Not to mention the ability to beat the bad guys. Every time.
But for now, with nine minutes until midnight, I'll have to settle for pretending that I'm not going to turn into a pumpkin with only five hours of sleep... Again.
Maybe it's time for a change.
