Musings on the Pretend Theory

When one is pretending the entire body revolts”- Anais Nin


In pretending, our bodies do kind of revolt, but I believe that this is when we are forcing ourselves to pretend. We are naturally pretending creatures and lying creatures and pretend in order to better ourselves and to find recreation. When I pretended as a little kid to be fighting with my friends, I think it very well could have been a reflection of what was happening over in Iraq and pretending, for children, is a way of coping. For adults and adolescents, it is very different and forms and it hurts us so much that our bodies must revolt.
