I don't think any way of getting along in life can be called a sham if it represents your best efforts to thrive, despite your conflicts. Even if you are less than forthcoming about the emotional turmoil within, as long as you honor your values and are capable of being a true friend and a sensitive lover, your life has a core of truth and cannot be dismissed as fake.

That it does not fulfill your own highest desires for yourself does not, I believe, mean your life is counterfeit or worthless, especially to those you have touched.
