As usual,something to share from my write ups from way back but I most confess, it is running low!#smile# Do enjoy!
what you wearing?
I was talking to Harold a while ago and one of the intriguing part of the whole discussion was 'masks'. You see, Harold is one of my brothers, I always find it interesting talking to him because he is quite a masterpiece...I thank God for him with all my being.
I don't think our talk lasted up to thirty minutes but I have meditated on the contents for quite a while now. Every morning, we wake up,do the usual and then stare at the mirror looking at the image that sends so many messages to one's sub conscious and then decide what mask to put on for that day that would magnify oneself and not make one look like a sorry excuse for whatever he/she is hiding on the inside the real you.
Lets try the 'BOSS'...would try and control everybody's own business so one will look put together even though that person cant figure out how to fix their own business.
What about 'PERFECT'? would try the darnedest to be perfect in even the smallest detail, so one will look immaculate in everyone's' eyes except the one that matters most...YOU. Forgetting trying to be perfect makes one already imperfect.
Lets try 'STRONG' today. Be everybody's pillar, supporting, caring and doing the very best to make other people feel good,always making someone else happy. The end result more often than none leads to resentment, a bitter person that ends up exhausted.
What about 'FRAGILE'? so everybody would be forced to look out for weak little one because the 'handle with care sign is right on the forehead.' Lets try the' HEARTLESS PLAYER' break a heart and look good doing it too and most times the bitter truth...just a scared person afraid to love.Or we just put a combo because we are afraid of what people would say if the real 'you' comes out.
It is like seeing a book on a shelf, it takes your attention at first, you like what you see but the cover keeps on changing in front of you over and over again eventually you walk away because that its unusual. The point is that you walked away based on the cover without knowing the contents, lets face it, people don't need extra drama in their lives, give them a chance to know the real you instead of changing masks on a daily basis. This can go on forever but its wise to ask yourself everyday;is it the real me the world will see today or just another pretender trying to find a place?
Most times, we end up attracting the wrong people and letting go of the right ones and find it difficult keeping up with the demands that come with the masks. After all the hard day's work of pretending, you return back looking at that mirror without any covering and you see a broken up person and before you know its tomorrow and here we go again.
Break the cycle, someone out there loves the real you.
