The mask

Creating a false image of self. showing a part but not the true self. it could be out of self protection. Out of fear of breaking down. Out of shame. Or just creating the illusion to show to others.

Showing the best self that one can show to another, the one that cost the less energy to show. hiding the true self from the other, withholding the true self from showing, the being that is in a certain state, all those things will cost energy. The mask will break when one does not have enough energy left.

The reason the repetition is in showing a mask, is to understand what we actually want to be. We hide behind the perfect mask, but when someone hits the mask with harsh words it might break down faster than you think. Be aware of the illusion that you are the mask. Don’t believe the lie, you might find out that when the energy to keep up the lies eventually will destroy the house that you build up with lies.

Let go of showing something you are not, we don’t want to live a world full of masks. Don’t become the reason to lie to another about how we feel. If we all stop wearing mask there is no need to lie no more. And the world would be a happier place. Work on self, don’t hide the one. Be the one and change into the being you want to be.
