What do you see here? Do you see the lovely couple, or what I see a man holding a guitar singing and another holding an object over there head? You see from someone’s perspective things can seem a whole lot different than the viewpoint of the other. Illusions are perfect examples of this because of there deceiving appearance, they trick the eye to think it’s one thing when it's really something else and like illusions, there are people who trick the mind to make you believe there something there not there called illusionist. I had a friend like this he was an illusionist. He made everyone around him think he was something he was not. He did it for the world’s approval. To be a good illusionist you must be an excellent liar. That was my friend the “illusionist” best quality. He lied about everything, his personality, his feeling, and who he really was. He changed himself to impress the world. What he did not really know was that I knew the real him. I believed in him, I knew he had a beautiful soul. His true self was dying to get out but only he had the key to free himself. He felt that everyone else’s opinion mattered more than his own happiness. He did not see what I saw. In my eyes, he was perfect only if he knew that. I’ve always believed that you should not change yourself to fit into anyone’s mold. Remember you can pretend all you want to be someone else but there always one person you can’t lie to and that’s yourself.
