No one is really who they portray, are they? We’re all exasperatingly confronted by the truth that people aren’t as they seem. We wear masks too, albeit the difference is, we wear one to protect our soft insides. It really is pointless letting down the façade if you’re the only one doing it. What purpose do you really serve letting people into your inner state of mind?
These same individuals who demand to see the ‘real’ you, will later judge you, at times directly and mostly when you aren’t even around to protect your reasoning. When you finally see the pointlessness of being true, your mask strengths and tightens around your true face, becoming that much more permanent.
Losing yourself in a state of pretentiousness until you’ve convinced yourself that it IS that mask that defines you as a person. You cease to exist and your mask becomes you.
At times, we’re even forced to wear more than one mask, although that does become a bit complicated when accounting for two different people who know two different masks.
When our falseness is one day pointed out, and it eventually is, we get defensive. We get depressed. And we never accept.
For acceptance includes us coming face to face and coming to terms with the fact that we’ve been fake all along. No one wants that. No one wants to be told they’ve been living a lie, most of the time one they’ve not even realized they’re living.
