Lived A Lie

AND IF I LIVED A LIE... etc. This is You Me At Six's (superbly amazing) new song. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about... Honesty. Honesty with ourselves. How many of you are living a lie? I don't just mean having a hidden wife and kids in a cave somewhere, I mean little things. Saying to yourself that one more biscuit won't hurt... That you think your bum looks great in trackie bottoms (newsflash, it doesn't)... That a Soggy Bottom on your cake isn't the end of the world (sorry, the great British bake off is on). Really, we lie to ourselves all the time, every day in fact. And these lies spread so we're lying to friends, families, romantic partners. So, today, you should give yourself one home truth and tell your friends and family as well.
Mine was: I have to go to chemistry learning support. I owned up to myself that I need to work harder and when I told my mum about my special class she just laughed, I don't know why I was so worried about her disowning me.
