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.
