Samuel BeckettYes, there is no good pretending, it is hard to leave everything.
About This Quote
When someone is caught up in the midst of a serious relationship, they do their best to hide their true selves. They pretend to be someone they are not just to avoid hurting the other person. They may not be pretending to be their true selves but they are still choosing to hide themselves. This doesn't mean that they are not trying, it just means that it is hard for them to leave everything behind no matter how much they want to do so.
