How many masks does it take

Yes its true before you can be what you really are, you have to be what you are not. Life is hard enough, without adding impersonation to the skills required.Not being yourself SHOULD NEVER be permanent.


I was chilling with a friend and I couldn't recall a moment when I wasn't being myself. Except for that one time my niece walked in on my crying. I told her something was stuck in my eye and I was trying to get it out. She's 7, not an idiot. But I didn't want her to worry about me. I would do it again believe me.Sure I told a white lie but thats not what I'm focusing on right now. Im talking about being myself.


Now there is a fine line between being Real and Being a Liar, defined they mean;


Lying: a false statement made with deliberate intent to deceive
Faking: to cause yourself inferior of not genuine in order to appear more desirable.




OK REALLY? REALLY? You wanna be that guy that deliberately deceives to appear more valuable? Whats wrong with who are, sure we all have insecurity issues but isn't it tiring to be on a stage for the rest of your life, I assure you most of the time no one is watching because, they've seen it somewhere else before. So snap out of it...and begin to like yourself, because the less you are like anyone else, you are unique.

 

How many masks does it take? Really ask yourself. Are you content being A second-rate version of somebody else rather than being a first-rate version of yourself. Stop wearing a mask, you will eventually decide to remove it one day and guess what? a piece of your own skin will come off with it.

OK they don't really piss me off, I just feel sorry for them. And you know how it goes, sadness leads to Hatred! You just wanna slap them back to reality.

So the "Mask" was worn to give confidence to the "alter ego" now I'm not sure if this was a good or bad thing, but what I do know for sure is that "he" was happier with the Mask on because being your alter ego, is being yourself.

V for Vendetta was an epic movie and we never got to see this guys face, which for those that understood the movie didn't matter. He represented the vigilante we all are. All super heroes wear a mask to protect others not themselves. So sure we might all wear masks at some point in our lives for the better of the human race (we all play different roles in life) but when without the mask, you should be able to be still content with who you are. Does Bruce Wayne look unhappy to you? 

As a friend of mine Nicole Malan says “be true to your spoon” – basically, stay true to who you are as a person. Embrace your weirdness, love those freckles, squiff toes, laugh at the sound of your own farts and never lose that little spark that makes you who you are.


I CANNOT & WON'T SUFFER IN SILENCE. Which may seem aggressive than assertive, or that I always want to have my way. But its really all about expressing who I am and not tip toeing around people. I would rather be hated for being myself than be loved for something I am not.


Take off the Mask...BE REAL
