Removing My Mask

Who Am I

ft. Truth


Hello reader.
If a person asks you "WHO ARE YOU?", what would reply? I hope you'll share your answer on the comment section below, you can do it as an anonymous or you can let me know your name.

So, this question has always been in my thoughts for as long as I could remember.
And sometimes I doubt myself because maybe my answer to that question is someone who isn't good enough. Someone who will never be what others expect her to be.

I always hated myself for being too much.
Too sensitive, too caring, too positive, too negative, and so on.
I can never be "just right". I always say to myself that I am not the perfect combination.
So I tried to put on a mask. I pretended to be someone I'm not in order to please others.


But then I realized, after years of wearing a mask, it never felt fake anymore.
I then had a hard time removing my mask because I feared rejection of who I am. What I did to myself was only destroying the beautiful part of me. But even though I was hiding who I really am, the right people can still tell who I really am, because they focus on the eyes, which is the window to my soul.


I lied, but I didn't know my eyes speak the truth. Unconsciously those sweet lies are gone..

These kind of people made me realized that being real is more beautiful than being fake.
The biggest mistake I ever done was wearing a mask in order to please others.
There is no such thing as perfection in this world, so why pretend? It is normal to make mistakes, and forgiving myself is something I am still starting to learn.

"Who am I?"
I am one of God's beautiful art.

Self-harm

Self-harm. I admit, I've done it. It is because I always hated myself, I thought I wasn't good enough for anything in this world. I thought that there was nothing special about me. Because that is what some people said and made me feel. They used me, fooled me, played my emotions and thoughts, and underestimated me. Some of them attached a lot of negative labels on my image. I believed every word they said about me... Which was wrong. Every word was a lie. I finally met the people who motivated me and never gave up on me. I never thought that I'd be close to people like them, but I think it is God's will that I am now surrounded with people who will always be there for me when I forget who I am and my worth. They made me realized that I am not made up of the words that hurt me. I am more than what I think. I wanted to end my life, but they stopped me before I could even add another mark. Each cut, burn, and bruise that I gave to myself...

Makeup | Miss Kilay Goals 2017 ft. Ritch Monera  Brielle Buena  Faraidah Batabor  Lyca Canchico Erika Delfin If the eyes are the window to a person's soul, then what are brows? It is the window frame. Brows frames a person's face. Our brows help express what we feel. We can sometimes read other people's emotion through observing the movement of their eyes and brows. Here are some of the example: Can you even imagine everyone in the world having no brows? In our present time, thick and on fleek brows are on trend. Lucky to those who are born with thick brows. And rest in peace to those who are not. Just kidding! Thanks to the person who invented make-up, those people who are not born with great eyebrows can achieve great brows. Okay let's fast forward. I know some of you would think that I'm encouraging girls to wear make-up instead of inspiring them to love who they are without make-up. I'm ...

Love is...

Love is... I've already explain a lot on my blog about what love really is... But I'm always talking about a certain person and not just about "love." So I decided that in this blog post, it will just be about "love." Usually when some people hear the word love the first thing that comes to their mind is a boyfried-girlfriend relationships. But love is not just about that. Love happens not just from that special guy you see at school or something, it also happens inside a house, in a church, in the hospital, in happy times and also in times when we thought we're alone. Love happens when we least expect it. This blog post is actually for those who think love is stupid, worthless, selfish, lust, etc. LOVE IS NOT A NEGATIVE ELEMENT! Did you know that because of love, every believer is saved? WE ARE SINNERS! NO ONE IS RIGHTEOUS! Our imperfections have caused us to sin, but because that love exist, a God allowed His one and only S...
