## Caption

'Two-faced, sometimes' 

~Sometimes people are two-faced, and sometimes they are just two things at once.
~Sometimes people are “fine” in public and falling apart in private. Both can be true.
~Sometimes people are curated, not because they are fake, but because they are careful.
~Sometimes people are hard to read because they have been read wrong before.
~Sometimes people are inconsistent because they are growing, not lying.
~Sometimes people are a performance until they feel safe enough to be a person.
~Sometimes people are not hiding their truth; they are protecting it.
~Sometimes people are everything you want them to be, until you need something real.
~Sometimes people are only authentic in tiny flashes...pay attention, because those moments are their whole story.
