This just changed my brain chemistry and made me realize I'm not lying to my full potential.

Brilliant! Imagine we spoke about our real lives like they were a completely made up fantasy. It’s all down to the perspective and how you talk about it. I think your stunt would have worked even if it was all true and you just gave a really interesting take on your life as a copy writer. The problem is that we come at it from the perspective of thinking that what we really do is not good enough and that others will look down on us. Add the cat in witness protection as an aside!πŸ˜†

I loved the part where everyone just collectively decided β€œyeah, let’s share our deepest secrets” cause you made them feel safe 😭😭 Now I’m curious if any of them where also lying and we’re playing a curated character πŸ’€
