AndyLand: Signs.

Often times, we dismiss the signs. The signs that something may be wrong. Or off. Or actually right. We are blind. Blind to happiness and blind to sadness. Accepting the truth is the biggest sign we ignore. Denial is only one tactic. Merely ignorance can get the job done. The amount of pretentious people in this world is astounding. No one knows what's best for anyone else, let alone themselves. Pretending to be happy is sometimes even worse than letting sadness consume us. Fake. That's all we are. We are fake people in a fake world. Ignoring the signs. Rejecting the joys. Taking the sadness for granted. Let's be real. (And I mean that in the most literal and figurative sense) : You don't know who you are. No one does. It's still a mystery. Our personalities, our deepest fears, our most precious desires are all mysteries. A layered life we live. With each passing moment, peeling a layer away to expose our raw selves. Our real selves. Ignorance, denial, they're just adding to the layers. You don't have to go looking for the signs, but don't go avoiding them either.
