Tricky....

When you have an online account, you can be anything you want to be. You can be the girl next door, a super spy, you could be a fat guy at home who posts fake pictures of himself on a dating sight so that he'll get womens attention. Like I said, you can be anything! That's kind of scary though, because whatever you are, no one else knows the difference except for you...and maybe your best friend. (Hopefully  your so said "best friend" is an actual person(s) and not a teddy bear or flying unicorn..) But why is it that we feel the need to make up fake names, or fake profiles of ourselves. To make ourselves more interesting? To keep people guessing? Or maybe its because we're afraid people won't like us for who we are.

Whatever the case may be, I believe that people should be themselves. Maybe you make a URL name so that people you know won't know who you are because you want them to get to know the real you, (because the only other way they know you is through an acquaintance.) That, and the reason being too, you want to know the real them and not what they want you to know (even though that's kind of stalker-ish). If you think about it, people will change and most of the time only want you to see what they want you to see. That's not always a good thing, because if you believe they're a certain way and you find out other wise...you wonder why the lied. No one's perfect, but we're all made equally and uniquely. Why can't we just stay that way? You don't have to lie, cheat, and steal to make friends, because if you do get friends you'll more than likely lose them when the truth comes back and hits you in the face. That goes for pretty much everything.

"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on."- Winston Churchill

So, lets look at Mr. Churchill's words of wisdom and leave the trickery behind. Be the real you and don't let anyone stop you from shining through. Have a good rest of the week!
