" My foregrounds are imaginary, my backgrounds real. "

The foreground of every individual is apparent; whatever people show to us, we believe in that perception.

You should not show your real self as soon as you make a new relationship. It does not mean that you have to fake, but take time to reveal your background. Also, it is imperative to be real when it comes to your background, one must not lie about from they came and what are their roots. You can change your personality and how you behave with others i.e your foreground but never try to disguise your reality. Your background, family, and culture make you what you are so embrace it.

You can keep your outer self imaginary but never fake the inner reality.
