The Lie of Perfection

From a young age, society has instilled in us the notion of perfection. We were taught that we must strive to meet certain standards in terms of appearance, success, and relationships. However, the reality is far from flawless. Behind the polished facades, people have their insecurities, failures, and challenges. Remember that no one is perfect, and it's okay to embrace authenticity.

The Lie of Luck

Have you ever seen someone achieve remarkable success and wondered how they got so lucky? The truth is, luck often disguises hard work, determination, and persistence. People rarely talk about the countless hours they dedicated to honing their skills or the numerous rejections they faced. It's essential to understand that success is rarely handed out, but instead, a product of dedication and unwavering belief.

The Lie of Overnight Success

We live in a world where stories of overnight success become viral sensations. However, the reality is that these stories usually omit the years of struggle and setbacks that lead up to that seemingly instant triumph. Behind every successful person lies a tale of perseverance, sacrifice, and countless failures. So, never be discouraged by the myth of overnight success. Instead, focus on your own journey.

The Lie of Fearlessness

We often come across individuals who seem fearless, capable of taking risks effortlessly. However, it's crucial to acknowledge that everyone experiences fear. Fear is a natural human emotion that can hold us back from reaching our full potential. The difference lies in how individuals manage their fears and move forward despite them. So, don't let fear define your story; rather, let it be the catalyst for your growth.

The Lie of Happiness

Social media platforms are flooded with pictures of people seemingly living their best lives, always happy and content. However, these snapshots rarely reflect the true reality. Happiness is not a constant state; it is a fluctuating emotion. It's essential to embrace the full spectrum of our feelings, acknowledging that it's normal to experience sadness, frustration, and discontent. True happiness comes from finding balance and meaning in our lives.

The Lie of Time

We often hear the phrase, "There's plenty of time," suggesting that we have endless opportunities. However, time is a finite resource, and we must utilize it wisely. Procrastination can be a dangerous pitfall, preventing us from accomplishing our goals and living a fulfilling life. Embrace the urgency of now, and make the most of every moment. Don't wait for the perfect time; create it.

The Lie of Comparison

In a world filled with social comparisons, it's easy to believe that everyone else has it better. However, the truth is, comparison is an endless cycle that hinders personal growth. Each individual's journey is unique, with different struggles and triumphs. Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on your own progress, and celebrate your achievements, no matter how small they may seem.

The Lie of Control

We often strive for control, believing it will bring us security and stability. However, the reality is that we are not in control of the external world. Life is unpredictable, and unexpected events can occur at any moment. Instead of desperately seeking control, learn to adapt, embrace the unknown, and focus on what you can control – your attitude, your actions, and your choices.

The Lie of Relationships

Media often portrays relationships as eternally blissful, with couples living in never-ending harmony. However, relationships require effort, patience, and compromise. They have their ups and downs, and no relationship is perfect. It's important to remember that true love and strong connections are built through communication, understanding, and acceptance of each other's imperfections.

We have uncovered some of the lies that may have shaped the way we perceive the world and ourselves. It's important to question these narratives and challenge the conventional wisdom. By doing so, we can embrace our own uniqueness, cultivate genuine connections, and live authentically. Remember, everyone has their own secrets and battles that are hidden behind the curtain; be kind, be understanding, and always seek the truth.

"A compulsive page-turner with a shocking twist--get ready to stay up all night!" --Sara Shepard, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Pretty Little Liars

"This conversation-starting page-turner is...Fatal Attraction meets Big Little Lies." --Kirkus Reviews

Gabe and Elyse have never met. But they both have something to hide.

Quiet, shy Elyse can't believe it when she's cast as the lead in her Portland high school's production of Romeo and Juliet. Her best friend, Brynn, is usually the star, and Elyse isn't sure she's up to the task. But when someone at rehearsals starts to catch her eye--someone she knows she absolutely shouldn't be with--she can't help but be pulled into the spotlight.

Austin native Gabe is contemplating the unthinkable--breaking up with Sasha, his headstrong, popular girlfriend. She's not going to let him slip through her fingers, though, and when rumors start to circulate around school, he knows she has the power to change his life forever.

Gabe and Elyse both make the mistake of falling for the wrong person, and falling hard. Told in parallel narratives, this twisty, shocking story shows how one bad choice can lead to a spiral of unforeseen consequences that not everyone will survive.
