The Mask

The Mask hides the truth, a carefully crafted façade worn to please, to blend, or to avoid conflict. It offers temporary comfort, yet each layer conceals authenticity and compromises integrity. The Mask whispers that acceptance depends on performance rather than presence.

The lesson is clear: do not wear it as your identity. Honesty is the light that dispels illusion, the courage to stand unveiled in a world that rewards pretence. The Mask reminds you that people-pleasing is a prison of your own making, where the soul bends to expectations rather than truth.

Remove the Mask. Speak your mind, show your heart, and embrace the raw, unpolished self. Integrity thrives when authenticity guides every action, thought, and word.

The Mask is both warning and teacher. It shows the cost of compromise and the liberation found in truth. To live openly is to honour your spirit and invite connections that resonate with genuine understanding rather than surface acceptance.
