RE: Contest - My Happiness - The Soul's Awareness
Dear Kitty, you made me reflect on how often we hide behind masks to face society, generating unnecessary stress and distancing ourselves from our authentic essence. This tendency to conform, driven by fear of judgment and the desire to belong, risks slowly transforming us into what we have tried to avoid for years. The pressure to fit in to gain belonging, often ephemeral and driven by superficial interests, threatens to make us lose the integrity of our soul. Your metaphor made me reflect on the absurdity of sacrificing our true nature for fleeting acceptance. I share your invitation to seek authenticity and happiness beyond appearances and I reject the idea of having to change just to fit in. Thank you for reminding me of the importance of staying true to what we truly believe.
The worst thing that can happen is to lose yourself or even do so before you know who you are.
As a child/teenager I struggled and decided I can't do it. The thing was (is) no matter how hard I try I will not be liked (Dutch expression: those who want to beat a dog will always find a stick).
It's better to be alone than in a crowd and I do not need people to make me feel unhappy.
Please, stay true to yourself since you are your own best friend.
