Most of the lies told in the world are done in relationships.

People fake their appearances to be desirable, fake their financial status to impress, fake their accent to thrill. Most people claim to be aristocrats when they are from middle class families. Some borrow cars, clothes, phones and accessories when on dates.
A greater deal lie about their education, occupation and employment status.

And when the veil of deception is pierced, things go kablooey.
When the fake hips and boobs are discovered,  when they find out that you're not who you posed to be. Do you expect them to still stick around?

I once fell in love with a girl. Her vivacious nature had immediately pulled the strings of my heart.
From afar she gambolled with excitement, she teased the way i do, laughed and joked the way i do and admire.
Well, i laid an emotional siege to conquer her heart, and in our familiarity process she did lie about a couple of things:
She lied that she was in a year two student of Public Admin.. When she wasn't even in the University.
She lied about being single,  whereas she was in a "serious" relationship.

Well,  things had gotten pretty serious and while i was polishing the tiara with which to enthrone her as queen of my heart, her boyfriend (a cultist) FBI-ed her out, showed up at my abode with a weapon and almost "downed" the son of man, but not for my manipulative prowess.

In the volcanic confrontation that led to a friendly gist between me and the girl's boyfriend, i got to understand so many things.
She too had fallen in love with me or atleast with my devious "chyking" tactics.
She lied about her education because she felt i wouldn't be interested in someone who've not reached a certain level of education.
And moreso about her relationship, so it wouldn't change the way i feel towards her.
But the truth is, her educational status quo had nothing to do with how i felt about her. Twas her nature, her childlike spirit and demeanor that i loved.

So most of the times, people fall in love with our nature and we ruin the moment by trying to be what we feel will impress them.

So What's the point of not being yourself so he/she who loves you will love the real you and not the faked alter ego?
"Let someone love you just the way you are.... As flawed as you may be_____as unattractive as you
may somehow feel____as unaccomplished as you think you are.

To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect is
to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room".

Any love built on fake foundations cannot endure, cannot be savoured and will always crumble.
But nothing can shake the foundation of true friendship and love.
