The mask.
We all wear it.
The one that shows the world we’re doing great.
The mask that we put on at family events.
The one that we wear when we are with friends.
Take it off.
If you continue to put the mask of “I’m happy in this pain I feel!” It will be harder to move on to your happiness.
If you can’t take it off, then, stay home and heal.
You’ll get to a point in your life, when putting on your mask won’t be worth it anymore. You want to be heard, felt, understood, the people you put the mask on for, they are not worth it.
The only way to feel better is feeling the pain, being sad, seeking help, taking the mask off. Fuck what they think. If you’re in a bad mood be in it, if you’re sad be sad, if you need to cry, cry. The safety of the mask is a construct created by the ego. It’s so you don’t have to be better or get better. It’s a lie, like the mask you wear.
There is a thin line between keeping it together and falling apart and you owe it to yourself to not tip over, to not loosing it, on anyone. For your sake and for theirs. A reminder; when the ego is at its tipping point, between you convincing yourself you’re fine and your soul screaming you’re not, it can not resist, but to spill on others.
Take it off.
Get rid of events, places and people where you’d have to wear it on your bad days.
Take it off.
Take time alone.
Take it off.
Cry in the grocery store, in the car, on your way to work, don’t unpack in the sadness, but feel it and let it go.
It’s messy.
It’s dirty.
It’s not anyone’s business, unless they can support you, love you unconditionally and understanding being human can be painful and as we connect to our souls it’s going to be gross letting go of what the ego wants. Normalcy even if it’s painful. Ego doesn’t want change. Ego wants stillness and it wants you to believe you need the pain to be human.
Take it off.
It’s a lie.
We deserve to live in happiness.
There is a lot of pain to be felt.
It’s not forever.
Take it off, little by little, be honest.
Healing takes time alone and the more you dive into it the more people you’ll shed, shedding is better than being with those who harm you.
Take it off.
Breathe. Let go. Get closer to freedom!
