"We must be careful about what we pretend to be."
Kurt Vonnegut.
It starts as a bit of fun, imitating the local accent when abroad, then becomes a habit, until you come home with an accent that sounds false and pretentious.
We all pretend to be something or someone. Eventually we become what we were just pretending to be. Perhaps we should pretend to be ourselves, become ourselves.
