"Keep it 100"

So I am sitting in my room watching an old movie called "She's All That" and I want to share a vision with you. In the movie, there is a bet with the main character Zack and his friend that Zack can't  take any girl from school and make her the prom queen (shout out to lil wayne) in six weeks. Zack accepts the bet and begins to court Laney. Of course Laney is unaware of the bet, but Zack is hanging out with her all the time, taking her places, so on and so forth. He puts on a facade that he likes her and she believes.  This is where it gets interesting. Zack begins to fall for Laney without realizing it. Story ends with Laney winning the prom and initially not liking Zack because she found out about the bet, but eventually forgiving him.

Here is my vision, how do you determine whats the truth and whats a lie when you yourself begin to believe it? Is it still a lie when you have created memories in your head you believe to be true because they are so vivid and real? Is it still a lie if at some point you see the truth in your lies? Zack began to lie to her that he liked, but when he saw the truth about her, he began to like her. So did he really lie to her in the beginning? Or was he lying to himself the whole time about whats beautiful to him and whats not. What interests him in a woman and what doesn't. 

To add more to the story, Zack is initally dating whats considered to be the hottest girl in school. Does he really believe that she is the hottest girl in school? Or is it because everyone else tells him she is that he begins to believe what others consider the truth, neglecting his own morality. My vision is myself. When I look in the mirror, am I who i say I am? Am I lying to myself? And in doing so, do I begin to believe the lie to the point where I tell others the same lie? Or does it become the truth because I live my life like it is. If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, must be a duck right?

For the longest time I was pretending to be someone I am not. And I believed it so blindly that I was no longer pretending, and thats who I became. But thank God I never forgot who I really was and after waking up and smelling the coffee on day, I began to regain my prior personality. So at the end of the day, if you don't want to get lost in a web of deception, just keep it 100 from day one.
