There are instances in life where faking it is never something I would recommend.

Hey Lance-Here is the thing about lying-you can’t decide to be truthful – you either are or you are not. There is no convenience with truth it is just an imperative or it is not. If you come clean don’t expect the world to forget all the moments of gross indignation, public and private attack, lawsuits threatened, executed and won, bulldozing people who tried to tell the truth and correct an incorrection, or you passing the other guy because of a synthetic advantage you may have had over him.
life is so fascinating
Life is so fascinating
This is what I have been trying to say to myself for the past 5 years.
death, conflict, aging parents, growing children, divorce I guess I am talking about LIFE.
The longer you live it, Life will take you to deep corners of places you may have never been.
Sadness heartbreak disappointment elation glory adversity joy regret depression excitement relief surprise marvel fascination self loathing pity disillusionment trust excitement denial defensiveness recklessness hedonism hatred love indifference confusion freedom confinement responsibility
I have been trying to say ‘life is so fascinating’ when something hard happens, when something feels sad or catastrophic or impossible. If matter and experience have no meaning without the label we place on them, then maybe renaming things will change the way we look at things.
If you can see all of life as rich and fascinating, you feel you have it by the balls rather than the other way around.
Try it and let me know how you do. It is not easy.
