Hold on! What if those people that you want to be like, because you think they're flawless are really not? In fact, no one really is. Some are perhaps just great at hiding their flaws and worries, and that's sometimes a good thing, knowing that it's always possible to get something positive out of even what may seem to be a problem, and no matter how unpleasant, difficult or painful it might seem.
In my opinion, everyone's just a regular person - we all pick our noses anyways. The outward appearances taking possession of your mind are sometimes indispensable requirements. So just because X's cosmetic comportment, relationship or job seems perfect doesn't mean you should give too low a rate to what you have.
Maybe you'll realise how awesome you and yours is if you stop being a bloody miserabilist. But if the word "miserabilist" hurts, I should probably say step up your game and stop being a fussbudget.

Just WORD!!!
TWO THINGS: you wouldn't probably know if telling the truth is always the right thing to do until your lies come to light - and trust me, truth will always out, so being economical with it may not be a great idea, especially to those who deserve to know. They're eventually gonna find out, and the consequences may not be so cool.
ANOTHER THING IS: you wouldn't probably know if being real and honest is truly the right thing to do until you get caught in the act of doing something you said you had nothing to do with. So try to stay out of the trouble of getting involved in any sort of fraudulent or otherwise dishonest act.
PERSONALLY, there's never a day that I didn't ask God to keep the things I do in the night from seeing the light, but I figured the answer to that prayer lies in my own hands. I figured I probably should make the things I do in the dark compatible if not totally consistent with how I want to be seen. So help me God!

Dreams come true, but gone wild...
Your dream has come true. Gone are your feelings of despair and dejection. You're now in the public eye and loving every bit of the new life, the new class, the hype, the stalkers and admirers. You even do stuff to draw attention to yourself, and because you love to hear the sound of your own voice. Only a few people tell you the truth because you're well heeled. You're made to believe you're invincible.
You ditch your old friends because you think they're raw, but that's mostly because they've chosen to keep it 100. You burned all your bridges and allowed toadies to build thicket fences around you. Your ego got so inflated that you couldn't notice how such walls are giving them access to live on your efforts without giving anything back. In fact, those walls aren't only making it impossible to be reached, but also difficult to go back to where you came from; where it all started.
Your definition of having fun got twisted to mean engaging in futile activities while serious issues around you are getting worse, or acting without regard for anything, not even the well-being of others around you. BUT does it really make any sense? What if everything grinds to a halt?

My ride, my rules...
For the record, if I find a guy and a lady stranded somewhere, desperately looking for a cab or ride home, and I have room for only one, don't ask! It's the lady I'll pick, because 'adiyata ntelleyeh!'
Especially if this dude happens to be like the majority of guys that'll see your ride breakdown by the side of the road, and won't only stop at not helping, but wish your mechanic won't show up.
Call it preferential bias or whatever you like, I don't give a rat's behind. In fact, I am so bloody tired of that overused nonsense of a criticism. It's called: 'my ride, my rules, my preference.

Manners.....
Pointing out another person's flaws, like saying: "X's essay is so wack" - doesn't mean you can do it better than X. You're just keeping it real, and that's okay.
But in the same spirit, make sure when it's X's time to keep it real, you're fine with taking the taste of your own medicine.
And one more thing: reasonable adults don't create humour for the purpose of getting on the nerves of other adults. That kind of attitude is so, SO high school.

Act right...
You cannot expect to play the devil and don't wake up in hell. It doesn't take a mullah or mufti to know that. But that's why it is often better to not act at all, than to put up an act that'll eventually injure the dignity and respect that you were trying to earn.

About promises...
The rule is, "never make a promise you cannot keep." But even so, sometimes shit goes down and you just cannot control what happens next. I am sure every reasonable human being will overstand that. Besides, a promise they say is comfort to fools.
So just because you couldn't meet a promise, or because you broke a few of them doesn't mean you're bad. You just might want to put a brake on giving promises so quickly. I mean, you may want to try saying it only when you mean it...you know, let your actions do the talking.
If you truly want to help but fail the individual because of an oversight, remember that an unfulfilled promise shouldn't be a reason for you to avoid your promisee. Sometimes all what the person needs is closure.
