What is real? This is a question I have come to ask myself alot. In this society we have completely fooled ourselves into what is real. It's as if we have to become fake in order to even be noticed a little. We lie to everyone but most of all we lie to ourselves. We alter our minds in order to match up with today's society. We hate being left out, we love being accepted; therefore in some cases we will do whatever it takes! It's crazy and most of us will say, "not me" but in all honesty can you say that you never changed or did things differently to be accepted. If your answer is a yes, I don't believe you for a second. It's our human nature to want to be loved and accepted by everyone but sadly it doesn't happen. We say,"we're okay" but we're dying on the inside. We smile often but on the inside we're screaming out in agony. We laugh and say that we enjoy life to it's fullest but in all reality we are crying out in anguish wanting/waiting for someone to see behind the masks.
Most of us where masks, no one really knows anyone anymore. We're so full of lies that we ourselves have start to believe them. This country is fake, I see so many who are hurting. They say they are fine but look deep into their eyes. You'll begin to read their story. We lie because we're scared. "What will they say, how will they look at me, no one will like me anymore." We're so wrapped up in the world now that, that's all that matters to us. What will they think,say, or do when the truth comes out. We need to stop lying to ourselves. We need to stop being fake; face our problems head on, own up to our mistakes, make things right, be happy with who we are. We were made the way we were inwardly and outwardly for a purpose! Stop trying to alter your personality to be liked or accepted. It's not right!!!
Why make others happy only if it will make you miserable in the end??? Everyone has issues, don't be ashamed. With every obstacle that comes our way triumphs are there awaiting our arrival! Don't try to match up to other's standards...it won't work. No matter how well it looks on the outside, everyone has there share of problems... We need to stop the denial, stop being ashamed and start owning up to our "normal" lives... some might ask "What is normal???"
Everyone has there own "normal". Normal will never be the same for one person; if it was this would be one boring place to live...Our normalities, but to others, "ab"normalities, is what makes this thing called life so beautiful! I'm just sick of people doing things just to be approved, welcomed, and loved by others and leave feeling empty in the end... Is feeling empty ever worth it, do you ever gain anything??? You find out who your REAL friends are when you are REAL with them! Everyone has issues... embrace them, don't let them ruin you! Everyone has a story! You're not the only one...don't ever be ashamed of who you are...
No one person has a better story than another. Each one deals with real people, real lives, and true feelings. Believe it or not each story is about survival and triumphs. Each story is our story!!!
