Can you answer that question? And no, please stop yourself before you say I’m ___________ and state whatever your name is, because that isn’t what I’m trying to ask. I’m not trying to ask who you are in front of your friends, family, acquaintances, enemies, or strangers, because we will act different to every single person we meet. I’m asking who are you when you finally put down tho
se masks
you naturally put on to deceive everyone you face each day. Who are you
when you are in deep thought finally putting yourself vulnerable
because you’re in deep solidarity?
Who are you when you finally your true self? Are you a person whose in a blink of giving up after being scarred by life’s tribulations when you take of your mask that makes you seem courageous and fearless? Are you a person whose heart is broken and fragile beneath a mask of a smile so no one knows the pain you truly feel? Are you a philosopher when you’re no longer hidden allowing a million thoughts race through your mind, only wearing a mask because you fear that you’ll be ridiculed and humiliated if others knew your true self. Are you a are person who is missing people of your past who puts on an intimidating mask to push people away so you don’t get even hurt by someone else leaving your life? Are you a person who is completely a stranger to the person you pretend to be when all you’re masks are on?
Who are you when you are yourself? And who is everyone else…the people you love, the people you hate, the people you hardly know when their masks are off and are themselves and vulnerable? Could it be that everyone is more similar then we can even imagine..or could it be that people are even more brilliant, more scared, more courageous, more strong, more sad, more pained, more happy, more amazing then just meets the eye? Tell me, who are you?
