Living amongst hypocrisy

What I have come to believe is that from the moment we were born our parents became the protectors. They stopped us from spilling juice down our dresses, they tought us to walk away from fights and defended us against all the other kids. What parents did wrong was creating the world of fairytale romance which we latched onto and somewhere in our hearts carried it with us. Through escapades of childish relationships, relationships that our heads fooled our hearts into falling for..we find that somehow that image of fairytale relationships becomes distorted.

When we become distatched to our parents, when we are spiralled into the big world without romance lurking at every corner :we seek 'love' immediatley. With our roommates that we immediatley ascossiate with even if over time we realise how unique we all are..or the boys that we find at parties, everyone that we were instantly surrounded with.
Yet its difficult to make a distinction between fondness and love. It's something that we can't use our little white lies to cover up because inevitably truth finds its' way out of us.
This is how we live among hypocrisy. As humanity we deny all prospects of failure...we lie to our parents now and then about exam results, about skipping school and money spending. It is in our nature to protect ourselves..just how our parents tought us to.
