"Be who you want to be, not what others want to see." ~ Unknown
(Photo by Rhett Wesley on Unsplash)Have you been wearing a mask in order to satisfy other’s good expectation of you?
Have you been keeping a secret that never been told to anyone?
Have you been pretending all your life because that is what majority wanted you to be?
It is tiring – Indeed. It is boring – Really.
Photo by Daniel Garcia on UnsplashYou always seem nice to everyone when they greet you at the hall. You always have the perfect smile showing them you have no problem at all. You always show them you are flawless and stress-free but they never know – that you’re in pain and suffering above all.
How would they know? You never tell.

Or else, you will never get noticed.
How sad could that be?

Don’t do this, don’t do that, why can’t you just be as good as that?
Just know you are loved because of what you truly have.
Go with the flow, take it slow. Don't be like the people who looked at you so low.
Just be simple, just be true, all you have to do is show them the real you.
Don’t follow, just lead. Be confident, that’s what all you need.
You are yourself; nobody can be more than you.
If they don’t like you, don’t like them either.
Only then, you can be FREE....

With that, they will accept you and no longer expect anything from you because you are already the person they never thought you could be.
