đź’” From Fakery to Freedom: No More Pretending đź’«
He used to sit there, arms folded, muttering how sick he was of watching my friend perform in her band.
“Same old songs,” he’d sneer.
“Her voice isn’t even that good.”
“Boring.”
Yet scroll through his Facebook and you’d think he was her number one fan.
“Amazing performance!”
“So talented!”
“What a voice!”
The disconnect was jaw-dropping. One face for the public. Another one entirely behind closed doors.
How fake can someone be?
I used to ask myself that over and over again. How could people not see through him? How could they fall for the charm, the carefully crafted image of decency, support, and positivity — when behind the scenes, he was judgmental, critical, even cruel?
But here’s the truth: it’s not my problem anymore.
I don’t have to sit quietly and smile while he puts on his “show” in front of friends.
I don’t have to listen to the scathing, belittling remarks made once the guests are gone.
I don’t have to live in that split reality — the one where the public persona is all kindness and charm, while the private version is built on disdain, control, and superiority.
I am done with the fakery.
I’ve chosen a life rooted in truth and authenticity. A life where what I say in private matches what I say in public. Where support isn’t performative, and kindness isn’t used as currency to buy admiration.
When you live in truth, you stop entertaining lies.
When you stand in authenticity, you see clearly — and you feel lighter.
đź’¬ Let him keep playing the part.
đź“Ł Let the world applaud the mask.
But I’m no longer in the audience.
I’ve left that theatre, and I’ve stepped into my own story — one where honesty, integrity, and real connection matter more than keeping up appearances.
If you’re tired of pretending, of swallowing truths to protect the image of someone who wouldn’t do the same for you… I see you.
And trust me: there is so much life on the other side of fakery. So much peace in being real.
No more playing along. No more shrinking down. Just truth. Just me. Just freedom.
