PULL OFF THE MASK...........the wake up series

 We live in a world where everything is staged. No one bares it all and nothing is ever as it seems. They teach us to never say the truth about how we feel, what we are going through, and never to talk about the crazy thoughts in our head. We are told in order to fit in we must play by those ''rules''

We are constantly afraid of being judged when we reveal our true selves. In a bid to fit in we are cocooned in life by a constant fear of rejection. But for how long?

Social media has also not failed to give us that illusion that everyone's life is perfect. Everyone seems flawless, successful, fit, disciplined, rich and above all  so comfortable in life. Then we try to want to be as flawless as they all pretend to be.

It scares me that our need to be accepted by others has driven us into non existence while still living.  We play these games and even when it comes to matters of the heart, we don't hold the breaks. We continue to live in lies and show off the  perfect sides of our lives to our partners. Reasons why when the mask falls off in marriagies, divorce becomes the tune played.

Have you stopped to wonder that your real self is screaming to be set free. 

Now this is the point am trying to make.

No one is perfect or without flaws so please don't pretend to be. Nobody has it all. No one has it all figured out. We are all working towards staying afloat in this sea called life.

So in trying to make your life better, you need the original to work with not the photocopy. Not the you your husband, wife, father, mother or society wants you to be. 

As for me, I'm tired of the charade. No more putting up a facade just to fit in or to 'belong'. I want to be accepted, but I want the real me accepted. 

It's ok to have bad days, it's ok to have breakouts, It's ok to be clueless as to where your life is headed (actually the acceptance that you are clueless makes you work at discovery),  It's ok to have disappointments, It's ok not to have those designer stuffs yet (so you buy the fake ones cause that's what you can afford for now). These things make us stronger and shape us for the better.

Don't join the band wagon of people who live a ''staged life''. Those who have different personalities for different occasions or for different persons they meet. Over time, you will only end up struggling to cope and at the end you'll realize you were only living for others and not yourself. 

Don't feel pressured to please people. Don't please.

We want to see the real you, not the you Instagram, Snapchat etc says you are. If truly you are aimed at discovering who you are, then you should be ready to bare it all and allow those changes to take place from inside out instead of faking a make believe. 

I believe this is a wake up call for us to actually live while living. Be yourself and allow help locate the real you.

Being masked leaves you with a dented personality. The personality behind the mask is eager to be revealed.
