mastering the art of feigning indifference

... because sometimes, you just have to pretend not to care. Or that you're not hurt or jealous or bitter.



Maybe because doing so is an affirmation that you have completely lost control of yourself and have thrown yourself at the mercy of someone or something.



However, what you're doing is just putting on a face, or rather, a mask. You're showing everyone how strong you are but in the end, what really matters is what you feel inside. You can hide behind several masks, new make-up, fashionable clothes, maybe even a haircut or highlights, well-polished nails and a loyal band of boys worshipping the ground you walk on, but really, those things won't really change what you feel inside.



Or maybe it would - in time.



As for me, I'm not doing it because I need a mask... I'm doing it to convince other people, because maybe, in the process, I'd convince myself.
