    I just wish I had the self-awareness and self-control in these moments to choose being authentic. But, alas, I am not in charge. I’m Maggie Simpson pretending she’s steering the car while Marge is actually in control. Honk honk

      it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. I wish I had the self control to stop trusting random strangers with my true inner self. But I know either way it sucks to screw it up.
