Why do you think we sometimes pretend we are feeling a different way to what we truly are?


There are a multitude of reasons why people would choose to hide their emotions, as a coping mechanism, hiding something from others, etc. I don't think it's ever healthy to hide how you're really feeling to those you're close with, as all your doing is denying yourself from the support that you need. I'm not one to talk though, since I'm guilty of hiding how I'm really feeling.


What is home to you? Do you picture where you live, or somewhere else?
Is it a physical place or a mentality?


Home can really be whatever you make of it. To me I picture my home, my dog, my friends and my family. In the end I think home is somewhere you can be comfortable being yourself.


What role do you think dreams play in contrast to the reality of the world around you?



I think the role of dreams is to give you something to aspire to, and are subject to change as you grow.
For example if you had asked me what my dream was when I was in high school, I would've 100% said I want to be an actor, and sure, some of me still thinks that I would love to do something like that but realistically it's not what life has in store for me.


Do you think pushing yourself to be perfect is harmful or beneficial?



I think striving for perfection is inherently harmful. Pushing yourself either physically or mentally for the purpose of achieving perfection feels like it'd end up doing more harm than good in what is a pretty futile effort.
I think people are capable of achieving pretty high highs, but perfection will pretty much always be out of reach, the best you can do is be the best 'you' you can be.
