You should stop frontin' babe

We all know the type, the person that "exaggerates" their lives, their jobs and everything about them.  Then we all know the types that flat out lie about everything around them.  It's a sad day when you can count more people frontin' then the ones who actual are honest.  I understand that sometimes you wanna try and impress people or you want certain people to like you. But should you have to compromise your integrity to be likeable?  I could care less if you have a car, money or a nice house.  If you are a good person and I get along with you then we will be friends no matter what.  Personally I can think of one person in particular who fronts the most.  This person, lets call them "X", is an especially serious compulsive liar.  When X and I are out on the town, X has the tendency to lie to every new person we meet.  X may start with a small lie like name and age.  Then the lies grow.  Now X is lying about place of residence, type of car, job even where X is from.  It boggles my mind that anyone would want to start a new friendship or even relationship that is based upon lies.  When people find out that you are lying about the simplest things, they assume that you are lying all the time.  See since I see that X lies to people we don't even know, then isn't it safe to assume that X lies to me?  It really can't be that bad to just be yourself.  If you're broke, be broke.  If you live with your mom, then tell that girl you live with your mom.  If you don't have a car, don't have a job and you don't take care of your kids then just fess up.  People respond much more positively to the truth then they do lies.  Yes lies may seem easier at first but in the long run they ruin everything.  

Then you have the people who are just plain frontin to look cool.  Those are not your jewels, that is not your money and that is not your car.  Why pretend to have something that you don't?  People need to start being proud of who they are.  Yes I live alone but guess what I don't own the home I live in.  I have a 1995 Toyota camry with a door handle missing, duct tape on the headlight and 2 missing hubcaps.  I do not have designer clothes or handbags.  But guess what?  I'm happy with who I am.  What I do have is an education, a job, a car that gets me from point a to point b, a roof over my head and I always have enough to eat.  If people don't like me because I'm not rich, flashy or over the top then I don't want those people in my life.  Start thinking more of yourself people.  Forget what the next person has or what they expect you to have.  In the long run just STOP FRONTIN'!
