Diary Lies

Dear Diary

Today I read an article from Glamour on the plane. The title of the article was "The guilty confessions of women who LIE".

It was reassuring to know that other women lie from time to time, or actually, most of the time. It made me feel normal.

There are a lot of reasons why people lie. I had a look of some of the reasons listed in the article:

• To make life easier or more interesting
• To appear more in control or more likeable
• To cover themselves
• To spare someone’s feelings

For me it could be all of above, or none of above. Simply because, I have no idea about myself, let alone the reasons I choose to lie.

Can a person “choose” to lie? Sometimes I think it’s more spontaneous. Lies just come out naturally. As if, they were the truth. And sometimes when we tell enough lies it become the reality. Because we actually are "living in lies".

Very existentialist belief.

I look at myself. Why do I lie? Is there any thing wrong with my life that I have to lie to make it better?

I am an executive who travels around internationally. I have a gorgeous husband who adores me dearly. I have a beautiful contemporary inner city apartment in one of the most desirable cities. I am still young and still turn heads.

And, I am not happy.
