247 Entries for “pretend”

  1. I pretend to be someone all this time. I call myself a hypocrite often, but in the end I continue to do so. Is it really that bad, just to try to pretend to be someone perfect, someone worth respecting? The whole time, I am actually one who has a lot of flaws… Maybe that’s why I pretend.

  2. i’m always pretending. it’s like i’m invisible. i pretend to be happy. i pretend to smile. i look at all my friends, laughing, joking, having fun, and all i can do is pretend.

    it feels like that’s all i know now. i know nothing else but to pretend. it’s the mask i hide behind. it’s my shield. my safety. my santuary.

  3. Just stop what you’re doing for a second.
    60 seconds shouldn’t be too much to ask.
    Close your eyes.
    Take a deep breath.
    Pretend that the world doesn’t exist.
    Or just shift it so that the world exists
    the way you’d like it to.

    And smile.

  6. Pretend is the thing that little children do, as well as people who need to grow up. They pretend they are other people, and run around looking like wallies. If anyone over the age of 12 pretends, they are either silly or an actor. You can also pretend to do something in order to annoy someone.

  7. I like pretending, its fun. It allows for a false sence of securitty and allows for people to be what they want to be qwhen ever. This is epic! I think that pretending is something that people use to escape real life and make sure that they are what they want to be! I think that pretend is awesome.

  8. I wrote about pretend yesterday, but here goes:
    It sounds a little like pretense, even though I don’t really know what that means. It’s like the child of pretense and contend, neither of which has a clear meaning to me.

  9. Slowly I crawled through the mud. Gunshots were everywhere, I had no option. I made a sprint through the open field. Bullets ripped through my skin and left me bleeding on the ground. Suddenly I was shaken awake and my head was all sweaty when I realized it was all a dream.

  10. Let’s make belive that you and I can fly to the moon and leave all the broken hearts behind. I need you and you need me so that is why we must both go. We can climb all the mountains and share dreams in an unpolluted world. I love you.

  11. Pretend that this is the day you let everything go. She hates it, and you hate it, yet you act like it doesn’t affect you. Brock-eyed you stumble out and pretend it’s the same old day.

  12. i always wanted to be good in front of others, disguising myself as another person so as not to be perceived as weak. for example, the introverted me, would like to be more expressive and open when out socializing, because, these set of characters enables a person to mix well automatically with the others, and eventually get along better and make more friends.

  18. You look at her and pretend everything’s okay. That everything she does wrong doesn’t hurt you in more than one way. So you smile, you always smile, only because you don’t want to show who you really are and how you really feel. So you pretend, you pretend to be someone she’ll like, and someone she’ll adore. All because you know you’d never be good enough. Never good enough for her.

  19. i try not to pretend. i am what i am and i am nothing more, nothing less. why would i pretend when it would be useless. what would make me want to pretend unless i am unhappy with something. so what if i am. i have my own shit to deal with and no one can help me. changing who i think i am would do nothing except decieve myself.

  20. don’t pretend, be who you are. you might disappoint some people, but you’ll never end up as someone you’re not. decide who you are. don’t make do with a facade. be you. be an individual. make your choices for yourself.

  21. Lending back mended maps. Napping, pretending lacks reason for writing back.

  22. Pretending is something that I find myself doing much too often these days. I don’t know how to be myself around some people. And I feel like pretending is the only way to survive in certain situations. Take my relationship for instance. It’s almost finished, I feel it, but I keep making it seem like everything is alright between him and me. Oh well.

    by Elizabeth on 05.05.2009
  23. Let’s pretend everything is alright. It may be alright with you, but its not alright with me. I sometimes feel so angry with you yet try really hard not to show it. Let’s pretend nothing ever happened between us, let’s just be friends. Yeah, right !!!

  24. You pretend to appreciate me,
    Flash your false smiles incessantly,
    Bet I know that, in actuality,
    I mean nothing to you,
    I’m no more than a tool,
    And after you’re done with me,
    I’ll be abandoned like all the rest.

  25. ha trying to be someone you’re not? Wow, we all do that don’t we. They were asking me why I don’t trust people; well, how can you? would you? I mean completely, and unconditionally? Nope… well actually people make that mistake all the time. They tell themselves they can trust, then they get stabbed. I am not really that negative. I guess it is just this rainy day… what to say, didn’t it ring or something? Pretending to be excited about a possible future with… is it over?

  27. Nobody is who he thinks he is… everybody wants to be someone else… why do people always have to pretend just to hide their true identity? You are who you are… no need to think about it any longer.

  28. I’m pretending I am a fairy princess. Yeah, its stupid and childish. But it’s better than this life on the streets.

  29. I love to pretend. When I was younger I guess I didn’t really pretend that much. Or maybe I did? I use to pretend that me and my friend Steph were sailor scouts and we had powers that we had to keep secret and we would bounce on her trampoline pretending to fight crime and stuff. I miss her so much shes like a sister to me.

  31. I pretend to be a busy, thoughtful, dedicated person. This seems to fool everyone, even me at times, but I know there is a day coming when someone will ask me a pivotal, non-bull-shittable question, and my whole persona will collapse in that instant. What I am aside fromm a bull shitter, I don’t know.

  33. You become what you pretend to be. Just acting the part becomes the reality. Fake it ’til ya make it, baby. Well, as much as I hate that … as much as it angers and alarms me that as a big faker I’ve seen my greatest success, I acknowledge that that is … the reality. I’ve become the person I imagined myself to be, through the fakery of pretending to be that person. What strange life is this?

  35. I’m pretending to be interested in the college webpage my parents just showed me. I’m kinda scared of college, but they’d lecture me about it and I’m not up for that right now. I just lost my train of thought. Dad walked by. >.< I’m glad this isn’t graded, haha! Wrote a terrible essay in english today – just copied the prompt. My teacher’s a moron.

  36. when we’re younger, we can pretend to exist outside of mind. simple words spiral up around us into dresses, castles, spaceships. with age we lose the power to spin speech into thin cobwebs of reality, and we fall into the complacency of conventional thought.

    by Claire on 05.04.2009
  37. it is time to just let go and enjoy yourself it is a time to discover a world that is new and fun. It alows you to be something that you arent it allows you to do things that you always wanted to do

    by kevin on 05.04.2009
  38. Sometimes we pretend. Actually, most of life is pretending. You pretend things are alright. You pretend you’re better than you are. You pretend you mean more than you do. Life pretends. Pretentiousness is a human defense for failure. But life endures. It’s us pretending that gets us through our days. It’s us pretending that gives us hope and make life beautiful.

    by Irvin on 05.04.2009
  39. I often pretend that you are something that I have always hoped to believe in. I often believe that you are a paralyzing fear with no hidden intention, but deeply straightforward.

  40. There was a girl. She stared longingly into the reflection in front of her, wondering when she would suddenly become something else, when she could stop pretending. To pretend is to lose yourself, she thought. Voraciously she hungered for something other than the life that she’d been living. The lie, the deceit to her own being. She was in quite the sour mood over it for quite some time, until he came along….
