Some of us were even those students living the fake life. But guess what? Most people are too busy focusing on what’s wrong about themselves to even notice that you’re living a fake life. Honestly, it’s wasn’t that bad if you ask me cos some of us had to learn the hard way that in this life you had to do what you could do to get what you want. If you want a large follower based, portray the lavish life everyone wants to live and dish it to them. They will follow you.
No one has ever been arrested or even jailed for living a fake life. I’m yet to see something of that sort though but if you know what I mean. The world is full of lies wrapped to look like the truth. We all want that perfect life. We want it all, the attention, the aesthetics, the followers, the connections and what have you. And sometimes to get to the top, you have to act like you’re at the top and you belong there.
I have a friend who lives a fake life and honestly, I don’t care what she does cos she’s actually using it to her advantage. Life is for the bold and audacious and as onlookers, it’s our responsibility to not believe what we see on the internet. There are two sides to everything we see out there- the truth and half the truth. Life isn’t white, it’s black and white and someone has to be the black for another person to be white.
I don’t think criminalizing fake life is the right thing to do because what would delusional people and day dreamers live on. We need these people living fake lives to pressure us so we can also achieve our goals. As much as we think it’s bad, for some people it’s a good influence. Let people do what they want to do.
There’s so much suffering and hardship out there that people have no option that to fake their lives to get what they what. And if you ask me, living a fake life is one of the hardest things to keep up with. And so we need to even commend such people for putting in so much effort just to maintain a lie.
We have all lied about a thing or two in our lives because just because we wanted to come off as one of those people who were living the life. And so who are we to crucify others for sins we have committed ourselves. What’s the world without such people. As for onlookers, we just need to know what to believe and what not to believe cos the life we live isn’t what it looks like.
