    • Quotes
      • Josh Lin: But then the insecurities creep in, and you start with just a slight exaggeration. Still you, just a shinier version. But... you like it. So you tweak it just a little more, until the real you, which was probably pretty great to begin with, is unrecognizable. But here's the thing. You're not just fooling yourself. There's someone else on the other side of that lie falling in love with a version of you that doesn't exist. And that's not fair because the only way it ends for them is disappointment. And the only way it ends for you is heartbreak. If I've ever learnt anything, it's that love doesn't have to be perfect. It just has to be honest.
