The crafted life.
I have a friend who once said "I live my life like there's a camera hidden somewhere, waiting to film a flaw, and I consciously keep a perfect composure till the day is gone".
I felt it was burdensome and fake, but who was I to say?
A time came and she forgot the act,
her real self came into play.
She looked more real and fun to be with,
To me, that was the real thing.
I wouldn't want to have a friend who lives based on the people who were watching,
I feel even if we try to live right, people will still be talking.
We can only behave well in public and around people,
But we should not change our whole self because we want to look good.
