You know that feeling when you're in a room full of people, smiling and nodding, but inside you're screaming because nothing you're saying or doing feels like you?
Or when you catch yourself apologising for having an opinion, dimming your light so others feel comfortable, or saying "I'm fine" when you're anything but?
I think this quote touches on something we don't talk about enough—𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐨𝐰, 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐞𝐭 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐧 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐰𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞.
It's not one dramatic moment; it's a thousand tiny betrayals.
𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐭𝐡, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐞𝐥𝐬𝐞'𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥—we create little fractures in our soul.
The thing is, we often don't even realise we're doing it.
We've been wearing masks for so long that we've forgotten who we really are looks like underneath.
But here's what I'm learning... 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐟 𝐢𝐬𝐧'𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐞𝐯𝐞—𝐢𝐭'𝐬 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐦.
It's already there, waiting patiently beneath all the "shoulds" and "supposed tos."
𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐝𝐨 𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐛𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬. Messy, imperfect, totally human selves.
