How much of you do you reveal to the big wide world?
When you’re out and about – at work, in a social situation, doing your daily duties…
How much of you does the world get to see?
We all have our faults. Every single one of us.
And yet, we’re all walking around pretending like we don’t. That nothing is wrong, and “don’t talk to me”.
It’s as if we have this fear that somebody, at any time, is going to get too close, and then –
“BAM!” – it’s all over.
Why do we do that?
We hide so much of ourselves from everybody else, putting up barrier after barrier of “protection” from the outside world.
But what we don’t realise is that those barriers weigh more heavily on us than they do “protect” us from anything.
How on earth does not expressing yourself fully around anybody really “protect” you?
Is that not the definition of actually being stifled, rather than nurtured?
Why does it seem easier to maintain this façade, than it does to simply let all the barriers go and just be raw. Which should be effortless, right?
But somehow it doesn’t seem that way at all.
So perhaps try something out: what are you actually trying to hide from everybody? I mean, you’re putting a lot of effort into it, so why not put your finger on exactly what it is.
What is it?
And why do you hide it?
Is it really worth it?
