The mask we choose to wear
It's been a while I have enough time to focus on consuming content, creating is even hard to do these days.
Maybe just talking things out here would help a bit since no one is ready to listen to the truth talkless of accepting the reality that comes with it.
When you see people gather in group to talk or gossip what they usually like to discuss about are the simple stuffs or things that the other person wants to hear.
But when we get back home and are alone with our thoughts that's when we start thinking about the real problems.
To some degree, it's funny to see how detached we have been with one another all in the sake of trying to act like a better person when in reality it's not who we are.
The question I do ask myself most times are - is it best to keep on wearing a mask that we all don't even know who's behind the mask or should we all come out in the open so the world can see the real person behind the mask.
Just thinking about it alone doesn't help because it's not an easy task to say your truth out in the open, when you know others are not going to do the same.
Regardless, coming out and saying your truth is not just about coming out alone by force or because someone else wants you to. Coming out in the open is a choice that needs to be made from the heart.
In short, the truth will always be bitter but the end of it sometimes is sweet. But even if it's not always sweet, there's no point living with a mask when you can live peacefully without one.
It’s very serious these days. I think I’m beginning to not even want to talk to people at all. I’m just scared of saying the wrong things so all I mostly do is to smile and laugh, which I’m very good at. Lol
That's doesn't mean you can't try to say your truth when you want to. Sometimes laughing about it or acting like you don't see what's going on could have a negative impact on ones emotional well being.
We all need someone to talk to honestly. Removing the mask for others or for a specific person is all about choice. You can be open to the wrong person for a while but sooner or later you'll eventually find that one person you can be brutally honest with without wearing a mask.
