When a person is considered living the life of a lie it means he or she isn’t truly truthful to themselves. And you know when you aren’t truthful to yourself, you also lie to everyone around.
Definition: How do you define someone who’s constantly lying to themselves? Someone who doesn’t agree they’re wrong or whatever they do mustn’t work. That’s someone who’s living a lie.
Look, at first, this might seem all fun and everything, but at the end of the day, you realize you’ve lost a great number of people.
We are all humans and sometimes things get very tough. Instead of lying about your condition, it’s better to be plain white.
I know you would probably say no one will understand, but some people are willing to listen and give a helping hand.
