Real is real, and fake is fake, you think? I tell you it isn’t: Fake gold is still shining golden and fake nails can also scratch. Fake moans make (if convincing) a similar sound to real ones. Even a fake smile is still a smile that might charm some fools.
But other things are just nothing when they are fake: Love, for example. Because if love is fake, it’s not even love at all. It’s just nothing but a sad, evil show that breaks precious hearts.
So my sisters follow my advice: It’s ok if your gold is everything but a precious metal. If you like, may your lashes be out of the question to be designed by nature. But there is one thing: Keep your feelings real and beware of falling for shiny fake emotions served by people with hearts made out of not even fake gold but ugly stone. Those people behave like bulls in the china shop and destroy all the delicate things by pretending realness where there is only a fake.
We deserve real, pure and honest! We don’t deserve our beautiful hearts to be broken, and we earn a love that is more than emptiness wrapped in shiny paper. Being real might not get you the most in life all the time, but it will grant you that you can always look into the mirror, hold the stare of your own eyes and admire how pretty the golden coat looks on you.
