Stop lying to yourself

Have you ever reached the point in your life when you had to just STOP believing. When no amount of false starts or empty promises are enough. You just have to take that last deep breath, open your eyes extra wide and read the writing on the wall. Nothing says LOUDER what someone truly means better than what they show and you can sugar coat that crap until your teeth fall out. I guess my question now becomes why is it so hard to conceive that people are who they show us they are. We would be livid if someone tried to make us something else, so why dilute ourselves with images of what we hoped others could be. Either accept EXACTLY who they are or decide that its not what you need in your life. We can't keep going through life avoiding the facts. Why lie to ourselves, the people we are making up a better version for aren't.
