the face in the mirror

was listening to Christina Aguilera's Reflection

flash back to the 90s :)

It's true what she sings....at least for me it applies
Sometimes I'm afraid to show who I really am to people
Sometimes my act suddenly slips off...and I quickly struggle to put my mask back on
I feel I've been acting all my life
The real person has yet to be revealed

There are times when I feel my life is so boring
Compared to my friends around me
They go out with friends almost everyday
I'm not saying that I don't hang out with my friends
They are AWESOME people I absolutely love

I just feel less 'out and about' like I used to be
Unafraid to do things...to accomplish things...to be my true self and chase after my goals
After what happened a couple of years back, my tough front seems to have disappeared

I realize...I'm now more reflective and sensitive to others reactions and feelings
I've learnt to listen to others
When to speak and when not to..
In the past, I couldn't be content when there's silence
Now I know...silence symbolizes the degree of comfort you have with another person
The more comfortable you are, the less you try to impress
You just want to be yourself..not another person living in your shell


Let's try and be our true selves..
not someone else...not the imitation of your friend you're jealous of...

JUST YOURSELF :)



have a nice day~
