QUOTE:"Love takes off masks that we fear we cannot live without and know we cannot live within."
-James Baldwin
INSPIRATION:What a very powerful statement about who we are. I often wonder when we put those masks on – what in our lives hurt us that we no longer felt we could be who we are but felt a need to hide. Some never take off their masks because of the fear of hurt and rejection. Some take off parts of the mask to see how the other person will react to what they see. Yet love real love – not “the I love you if” or “the I love you because” but the kind that says “I love you in spite of” is where there is a freedom to live without the masks.
ACTION:I can’t help you take off your mask because – I don’t know why you put it on in the first place and I can’t see who is in your world where it is safe to remove your mask but I can encourage you to find someone with whom you can. Living behind a mask is a lonely place to be. Please don’t let fear control your life – allow yourself to be the one who takes small steps if necessary to remove the mask but choose to live a life that is real.
