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.

That moment, when you can't explain to anyone how you feel because you can't even explain it to yourself... This blog post isn't really important, it's just a post of my random feelings... When people say that i should stop being a crybaby because the problem is not that big.. Just because my problems are not as big as yours, that doesnt mean that my problems doesnt sting my heart. the person who reminded you that there is hope, that you really deserve happiness, and that you are not a mistake.. the person who made you feel so special and made you forget all your other problems.. is now the person who breaks your heart. that person now makes you feel that you dont deserve to exist in this world.. this was the first time that i cried in front my family.. and i hate it when people see me cry, because it make...

Haters?

"Haters?" ft. REAL TALK Hi to my lovely, amazing, beautiful, handsome, and wonderful readers ! *kiss kiss emoji* So, this is going to be an early update, wasn't really expecting this to happen. So I heard the news from my cousin few minutes after my latest blog update last night. I found out that some people were bashing her on Facebook, through chat and post. Yes, it is very immature to do such a thing. I didn't wan't to defend her in a way would make me a bad example, but I wasn't really able to hold myself to stay down because, well, first of all, she is my cousin, she's part of the family. My cousin and I are cousins by blood, but best friends by choice. So I was the one who replied to all the trash, honestly, I knew I went too far and it wasn't smart to do such act. I sincerely apologize to those who have read my trashy post on Facebook. It was really wrong to do it. I also felt guilty because yesterday I posted a v...

Best Part Of Me.

When people ask me, "What is your favorite day of the week?", my answer will always be "Sunday" which is a day with God. The rest are "Stressdays". A day that I would spend my time listening to lectures at School, or maybe doing an activity at School. I'm not complaining, I love School! But we can't forget the fact that the day ends with tired-panda-eyes. When I get home from School, I would be greeted by house chores! There is almost no time for myself, when I wake up in the morning, I would never have the "yay" feeling for choosing what to wear for School. A shirt and jeans matched with hackneyed sneakers would be fine, but isn't that way too boring? I don't know what your side is, but to me Fashion is suppose to be in my best friend. A quote by Nina Garcia, made me realize the "power" of accessories. It can either make or break a look. Few days ago, two people gave me this boring bracelets. ...
