s: lying and misrepresenting stuff...to yourself

[mojo]

this has been on my mind for a while. maybe lately more than before. well, initially it was...then it went away a little...but now...

ok, i should get to the point.

there was a time in my life when i was getting a divorce when i felt like i really had nothing. that was about the time i started posting here, so some will remember. anyhow, i felt like i had nothing. like, absolutely nothing. so i did what any red-blooded american would do: i covered it up with dirt. ok, maybe other red-blooded americans would face the facts head-on and just take things as they were. but no, not this one. maybe my blood is blue?

maybe i wasn't as strong as the next person, and maybe i didn't handle things well. i know i had a shorter fuse than usual at that time. and there's no excuse for it really. sure, i was getting a divorce and stuff was bad and whatever, but some people didn't deserve the bad end of me.

but that's not where i'm going with this.

the thing is, made something more than it was irl. i talked up a great deal about a certain person because i didn't have anyone to run to or anyone to feel like they thought i was worthwhile. at least in a romantic way. i was frantic.

truth is, i talked a lot about "the princess" and how things were great with her, when really she wasn't any more than a friend. she was a girl that said nice things about me at a time when i thought i wanted that, but that didn't have more involvement with me than a platonic friend would have. i presented her to my g|a friends as a girlfriend, or a girlfriend-like figure, when she wasn't interested. it was a lie.

but moreover, it was a lie to myself. i wanted to think it was true. and although i knew it wasn't, i could almost believe it was.

anyhow, i am sorry for misleading anyone that way.

Why do you keep talking like there are other people besides me in your life? I don't get it.

It's ok mojo...no hard feelings. I didn't select the mojo option all the time in every poll. :)

[oblongmelon]

I guess I missed those posts..anyway moj, it doesnt matter. Oh and btw nice to see you-where have you been lately?

OMG wait a minute-you're not the guy from Syracuse that was involved with my girlfriend were you?? LOL

[DarkFury]

Pretty deep there mojo... and it's cool.... express yourself as you need to. :D

[johnnymk]

Is that the reason that Justin looks so sad? Did you lie to him, too? :nono:

[molecularfire]

Been there, done that (although in my case it wasn't during a divorce). Don't beat yourself too hard over it. Lying to ourselves is probably more of an american past time than baseball (and I'd be shocked if it wasn't the same for many many other countries).

I forgive you........ but you're still slutty :P

mojo is all of us, at one time, in some way.

you thought who was hapoo?

[revil]

"mojo is all of us, at one time, in some way."

replace mojo with hapoo. however, i guess i was wrong. it would have been, "hapoo is all of us, all the time, in every way"

replace mojo with hapoo. however, i guess i was wrong. it would have been, "hapoo is all of us, all the time, in every way"
and the more things change the more they stay the same

Speak for yourself there!



As for the original post, I dont really remember any such posts, but hey whatever. Everyone represents themselves in some way. We all hope that people actually are who and what they say they are, but often that is not the case, which many unsuspecting people unfortunately find out later. It sounds to me from your post that you werent actually trying to misrepresent yourself, but rather that you had delluded yourself into believing something or wanting to believe something. You then shared those beliefs here. As I see it no harm no foul. My question for you is what brought about this sudden need to correct the record?
