Imagine waking up one day and realizing most of your life, you’ve been asleep. You went to school and pretended to be someone else. You graduated and went to college and pretended to be someone else. You found someone, you married and pretended to be someone else. You had a child, they grew and you pretended to be someone else. Imagine one day, you wake up, and you can’t pretend anymore.
