beauty bxb cowardly happiness honesty hope lgbt lies love ptsd quirks sad truth ugly validation

We tell ourselves that we're okay, that we're doing great. That we're getting better. 

We lie to ourselves to find comfort in the beauty of things that we subconsciously know aren't true, and can't be true. 

We lie to ourselves because it's easier to mold lies into an illusion you can trick you're eyes into believing. 

We lie to ourselves because it's easier than telling ourselves the truth. 

Call it cowardly. Call it what you will, but it's the lies we tell ourselves that make something worth fighting for. The lies that make us want to know the truth.

Unhealthy Obsession |18+| by CodiBlue

-Let's get this straight. From a dead end job to a useless crazy ex boyfriend- my happiness is with my best friend yet the fear of our relationship ending completely scares me and id rather fake it and be in fear than find out and never be happy. It sucks, seeing him everyday and knowing what i feel for him and how deep those feelings go is painful...- But when he comes around everything changes for the best and for the worst. As a whole they are deeply loved and equally as hated by others but the love from one another is undeniable, if only she wasnt so selfish with her choices and words- -Lying, cheating, sneaking, crying- many acts and emotions come from within when there's someone you love unaware of that love.. Possibly growing to love someone else right before your eyes..Its gut wrenching, i know because ive fucked up. Its worse when you're aware of the harm you cause yourself and others but dont care how the outcome turns out to be. Why would it matter how it effects you if youre used to pain and people leaving? it wouldnt. All because you take comfort in your own mind and mental illness, once you realize you have freewill it may become a bad thing if youre careless.- - Gabriella White.

Fake (Hetalia: FrUkUs) by Amelia_Bonnefoy

I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me. ~S.E. Hinton It's so easy. To be fake. It's as easy as One, Two, Three, A, B, C. (RATED MATURE FOR SENSITIVE MATERIAL) HUMAN AU

The Elemental Wars - Sanity Book 1 (complete BUT UNDER EDITING) by HisBaby1509

We have all been lied to. We have all lied. Some people lie to escape, others would lie to protect. But most lie for protection. Imagine if your life was a lie. Everything your parents told you. Every memory, every emotion and every second you spend with them was an illusion. How would you handle your sanity? My world was rocked sideways after a single bus ride.

Help Me Please by cupcakegirl116

Society tells us be ourselves. When we are society judges. If we dare share what's on our mind we get judged even by our friends, some people keep it in just like I do. Some of the worst things happen mentally, and physically. When it comes time to show our emotions we can't because we worry people will think about us. Will they think we are lying, or being fake just to get attention?

I'm Still Breathing by wxntrlcs

"I will never leave you," he promised. PROMISE (n.) \'prä-məs\ - a declaration that one will do or refrain from doing something specified Promises. Don't ever make promises that you're sure that you won't keep. - She's damn different. She can spin your world in different angles just to prove that she's a great person; that she is capable to leave a mark in history books without any help. However, like in all stories, problems arise, but how could she face them, if she is the main reason that sparked up every emotion, fear, and the truth; she's involved somehow and barely notice it. She'll probably face it, by avoiding it, by unconsciously making the problems worse every minute. All Rights Reserved © joey ; wxntrlcs [ 2015 ]

Trust Issues 🧸 by feen4plut0

Pain changes people, it makes them trust less, overthink more , shut people out. 🖤

Sincere by darealkp

Your trust? It's deep, it's clear. Your hope? Look at it, we're still here. Your heart? I got it, no need to fear. Our love? Is it genuine? Is it sincere?

Grace by Marvylynnn

What's the point of pretending we're alright when we aren't? We're only humans, so why can't we face our weaknesses and problems head-on instead of trying hard to appear perfect to the world around us? What exactly are we trying to prove? That we're perfect? * An actress pursuing a topnotch movie; A producer that isn't what he seems; An unintentional murder; And a God that worked behind the scenes. It took all these for Grace to realise that her name wasn't just a name- it was a lifeline. _Her_ lifeline. Grace was saved... By grace.

Deception by __AnonymousWriter

Things change, and people change even more. It's crazy how life goes, but how we deal with situations can change everything. Its fucked up but really what can we do. We try so hard not to fall, but no matter what we do, we fall anyway. Some of us get up and try again while others stay down. What we really need to do is continue moving forward. But that can be very hard. Especially when we receive bad news. Some news can change our lives forever. Life and lies go hand and hand. But, what are we really to when someone is being deceptive?
