unreliable narrator

as an English major there was a lot of debate in my education about who is a reliable narrator. 



I think it all began with The Great Gatsby.

I'm no reliable narrator.

Oh, Bloggie, I have neglected you.  
Oh, Reader, I only write that which makes me look as I want to appear.  

I know, I know, we all do the same. We all update our Facebooks with the mundane, the comical, the flattering, even the quirks, but never the whole, self-revelatory, earthy, embarrassing, fragile truth.

And so, it's OK.. It's the best we can do & all we really want anyway. Or all I want at least.

But anyway, I'm attempting a comeback.
