The Mask

March 17, 2011

Everyone has a part of themselves that they mask from the world.

Everyone's afraid.

Every person is filled with insecurities and fears that they hide, rather than face and conquer.

Every person is their own battle.

The longer those parts are concealed, the weaker you are in the fight against yourself.

You lose yourself with every layer you add.

The reasons for this mask could fear of rejection, or fear of imperfection,

but the chief of them all: the fear of being alone.

Maybe the key to dispelling those fears is removing the mask.
