Ripping off the mask, embracing my authenticity, it takes time, intention, and effort.
Just like anything else, I wasn’t magically in my authenticity, anything worth while in life takes time and effort. In society today we all have been trained to walk around with masks on, in work, with friends, as a mother, in certain social groups, I used to show up in all different kinds of masks. It get exhausting, constricting, confusing, not knowing or understanding who I was.
I had to start by unlearning, unbecoming, stripping away the layers society expects you to wear, it’s like an invisible contract with the matrix that we didn’t know we signed.
I had to intentionally make myself the greatest experiment, trying on different aspects of myself, lots of failed attempts along the way. To find and understand the different characteristics of me. Sometimes the journey of discovery myself was fun, but it was also frustrating, even a little scary at times.
The journey lead me to release all the noise I’ve had inside my head, to break up with all the different opinions the people around me would send my way. Learning to think for myself, not asking anyone’s opinion was a big breakthrough, counting on me for me!
I hope I can inspire anyone to start making themselves their greatest experiment, it part of learning to love yourself. To love yourself is to have a close relationship with God, to love God, because God is inside us all!
Amen!
