There is a tendency.

A human tendency.

A human tendency to make stuff up.

All kinds of stuff.

About ourselves.

About them.

About life.

None of its true.

They're only stories we tell ourselves.

Like bedtime stories.

We make them up.

Then we pump them up with a lot of emotion.

Making them feel real.

Like that's really how it is.

Really.

It's not.

You know how you can find out for yourself?

Ask them.
