"People only show you what they want", I used to never understand this saying, I suppose that was because I never bothered to take a true look at the people around me, or maybe I was too young When I got older I started noticing the differences in how people act around certain others, and that was when I started understanding the meaning, when I noticed my friends acting differently around boys, when I noticed my parents acting differently around family, when I noticed myself acting like everything was ok, we're all just clowns entertaining the people around us, while we hide what we fear makes us weak.
