When you hear the word acting what's the first thing that comes to mind?
Famous T.V shows?
Movies?
Musicals?
Plays?
The first thing that comes to my mind is people
Ordinary people
The people that pass you in the hallways
or on the streets
You may not realize it
but some people act every day
You know the girl that smiled at you as she walked by
did you know she's thinking about suicide?
The guy that asked you out and said he loved you
turns out it was a sick prank he pulled on you
The girl who pretends to be OK everyday
just to get people to stop worrying
Fake smiles
Fake love
Fake happiness
It's all acting
But you never thought about it that way
Did you?
