Welcome to the last challenge for April, where our theme is Fool Me Once:

April Theme: Fool Me Once

In this last prompt, I’m bringing it home with a sucker punch

You told us stories about how you’d imagine you’d fool us all. How you’d pull the wool over the eyes of an unsuspecting public.

Well, that’s all good and well, but now let’s try a bit of therapy, shall we?
A little healing after all that damage you’ve done. Hmmm?

Tell us a story about fooling yourself. Or a version of yourself. Or a fictional, much cooler, but still self-deceptive person. Whatever degree of truth and introspection you feel most comfortable with.

This week it’s about sailing down the longest river of all. Denial, the one with all those hidden rocks and many wrecks.

How have you lied and tricked yourself?
