Removing the mask

We all wear a mask that we show the world, which becomes the veil that hides and protects us from the eyes and opinions of the judgmental world we live in.

We become so comfortable wearing the mask that we forget to remove it when we are around people who we love, cherish and adore because of the fear and insecurities that made us put the mask on in the beginning.
We get so caught up in pretending that we forget how to live and love at the moment we are in love. As a result, the fantasy of who we want people to see and admire becomes more accurate than the reality of who we are at our core.
