Now that I got the definition part out of the way...lets dig in...Hello people, if your reading this,thanks!!!!!!...I been busy working and dealing with life.....as we all have...lets go...

REALITY, or whats REAL. is something like a lost art, it seems as if lying and deception is what a lot of people have become good at these days, we all know this. And with the loss of REALITY comes in the perception after the deception...

"Reality vs. perception" sounds SOOO deep but it not, we all deal with it in some form or fashion on a daily..most don't even think about it and if we do we cant really distinguish wats real from wat fake anymore...most people are living in a perceptive world, meaning they truly believe in their minds that they are "real" and whats around them is also....this is SURELY not even close to being true....

The best case of this battle is with relationships...a lot of women have the perception that their men are faithful and do not lie to them, cheat, talk to other females, blah blah blah..... when in fact the reality of the situation is that their man is doing all those things and a ton more that he shouldn't be doing and lying about doing them, no pun intended ...oh and lets not just down us men....the same goes for women...y'all are some sneaky creatures..A lot of y'all can have a squeaky clean image (perception) but really be jumpoff's (reality).

so to keep this blog short and sweet....i have comprised a list of common "reality checks"...maybe people will listen:

1. If you are deceiving your gf/bf realize that if you were REAL with them, they wouldn't be with you...which means you don't deserve them anyways

2. If you lie to males/females to make them like you more , then your giving off a false perception...which means they PROBABLY wont like the real you wen it comes to light....you would be a liar in their eyes, among other things...not good...

3. If you are around here lying about ur gpa, it just means you aren't as smart as you thought you were....study more.....

4. If you are claiming to be a thug in college, stop....thugs do not go to college....just stick to your books and leave the "college thug" image alone.....

5. If all you talk about is "haters", quit....your prolly just trying to cover up the fact your a hater yourself....but its no big deal, we are ALL haters in some way...
