Somehow, I want to be able to write so much better than I do. So much better than I think I do in my mind. So much better than I now think possible. Sometimes I feel like I’m living a lie, begging to become better at something I hardly practice at. I’m not really a writer, I just pretend to be. Like everything in my life, I manipulate the truth until it is appealing until it’s what my life should be.
It’s almost the start of a new year, and I hate new years resolutions but if there was one thing I would try to promise myself is to stop pretending. In more than just writing, in what I say I am, in what I would like to be, and in what I show people.
Maybe then I can cope with reality.
