I’m a fake. A fraud. A phony. Faking life. Faking writing. Faking faith. Fake: not genuine, counterfeit. Well, that’s not the definition I was thinking of. I was thinking more along the lines of this one-a person claiming to be something that one is not. We’ve all heard the phrase, “Fake it ‘til you make [...]
