Delusion vs Reality

Delusion - I am in my late 20's, am beautiful with a gorgeous athletic body, perfect white teeth, long shiny hair.
Reality - I'm 52, average, overweight, horrible teeth and greying hair filled with split ends that only shines when it's dirty and that's from the oil.

Delusion - I live in a gorgeous home, furnished and designed by a leading designer, in ground heated pool, on 20 acres.
Reality - I'm in a government owned house that I rent, there is a bare patch on the lounge room wall where some fake mantle was taken out and the wall never painted, under the couch is a patch of carpet that doesn't match the rest, the front door is coming off it's hinges and the kitchen is a design from the 1920"s.

Delusion - I drive a classic mustang, and have a stable of cars to call on depending on my mood.
Reality - Mum and I share a Toyata Corolla that's seen better days.

Delusion - My garden is full of prize winning roses, I've received awards for the most beautiful garden in the mountains, people drive for miles just to tour my garden and I grow all my own fruit and vegetables.
Reality - I hate gardening and would rather concrete the lot of it, got a few azaleas that do alright, and the wishbone fern and uncontrollable jasmine seem to thrive, the only fruit and veg I've got is some potatoes that are growing their own vines and some wrinkled carrots in the bottom of the fridge.

Delusion - I'm a master carpenter and can fix any problems big and small in my home, I've built and designed my own walk in wardrobes and kitchen cabinets.
Reality - I can use a hammer and I know the difference between a philips head and flat screwdrivers.

Delusion - I've travelled the world as a world renowned photographer.
Reality - I've got a camera phone, and a digital somewhere. And no I haven't travelled the world, haven't even been out of Australia.

Delusion - My children all attended private schools and went on to become a leading neuro surgeon, a cardiac specialist and a racing car driver (not sure why that one but I like it LOL)
Reality - I've got 3 kids who went to public school.

Delusion - I get invited to all the openings for the newest and hottest clubs in Australia and the world.
Reality - I last went to a club for my daughters hens weekend we had chinese for lunch at the Penrith Leagues Club.

Delusion - All my clothes are designer.
Reality - I wear clothes bought at Kmart, Big W or Best and Less, I'd go Target but it's just too expensive for me.

Delusion - I take friends out sailing every weekend.
Reality - I've got a blow up model of a ship that's gathering dust in my bath.

Delusion - My maid takes care of cleaning my house and clothes, my team of gardeners looks after the grounds, my personal chef caters for me and my friends.
Reality - I'm thinking about scraping off the inch of dust that has settled on my furniture, I've got washing hanging on the line, I just looked at the yard got depressed and came back inside, whatever I eat tonight will probably be crap and cooked by me.

Delusion - I've dated the likes of Johnny Depp and Vin Diesel
Reality - I've seen their movies.

Delusion - People hang on my every word
Reality - They can't wait for me to shut up

I'm thinking the world of delusion is a lot better than my reality, bring on senility so I can live there permanently LOL.
