Culture. Eat it

- Take off the mask!
- Which of the many?
- That of the morning.
- The one where I pretend to get up happy?
- That doesn’t count, you’re just pissed off because you’re tired.
- I do not sleep a whole night for nearly nine months. The time it takes to transform a normal woman into a psychopath.
- Take off that of the afternoon.
- The one where if you ask me “how are you?” I say “It’s okay!” even if it’s not true?
- Yes.
- Why should I do that? To bore people with my problems? I become one of those dear ladies who always has a problem and that is never right? Please, not even you believe that.
- Okay, than take off the one of the social networks.
- And what would be the social networks mask?
- How beautiful, you’re good, wonderful, fantastic, etc. You women will always complimenting and then you stab behind your back.
- I practically do not exist on Facebook, you know.
- There’s no one to badmouth?
- I don’t give you this satisfaction.
- Okay, so take off your evening mask.
- In the evening I have no masks.
- You swear it to me?
- I swear.
- And that smile on your face before going to sleep?
- That’s because I’m happy.
- Really?
- Yes, that’s the only time of the day I realize that I have got everything I need. Because is there, by my side.
- Also sleep?
- I hope that too.
