"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages."

- Shakespeare's As You Like It

We all hide behind facades and own many masks that we can switch interchangeably under diferent situations. I've always wondered what the kAeJ without the facade/mask will be. I've always wondered how people can keep dark secrets about themselves so brilliantly that even the people closest to them have to pry real hard to find out about the secrets and half the time they don't succeed. I've always wanted to know what lies beneath the hearts of people. How many are totally truthful to the people around them? How do people measure the extend they can trust someone?

The wall of defence I tried very hard to break down is slowly being re-constructed, with the recent spate of events leaving me to question who I can really trust to bare my heart out to. Ironically, the person I least expect to trust is turning out to be someone I feel I can trust totally. Yet, there is still this nagging fear and doubt that I could be wrong...again.

When one day the facade you have been hiding behind is removed, what will it reveal about you? Well, you know they say, "A fair face may hide a foul heart". Could it be you? Or perhaps, me? Your guess is as good as mine.
