Have you ever met a person or met people who act differently depending on who they are around? Or do you feel they are holding back? Not really all there. Some tend to do it to hide themselves and please others, some do it and hide to protect themselves, and others do it to hide bad intentions. I don’t think that every person who do is a bad person. Some. Some people like to be what others want them to be, so a mask is on pretending. When you really don’t want to but don’t feel you have a voice, so you keep that mask on. There are people who do it that do not want people to notice what they go through or what they face. I can say that I have been a person who wears a mask, I put on a smile and act like everything is okay but deep down inside there is a lot of hurt, sadness, and pain. I have a wall up and do not want people to know how I am really feeling so I put a smile and I am cool, then I get away trying to avoid everybody. I do not easily connect with people again my wall is up, and I am guarded. Not saying that is a good thing because it still a mask on.
I know that there are some who have that mask on to hide their bad intentions they act and talk like they are perfect, very manipulative, they are monsters deep inside and like it or not there are some people in this world like that. Yes, there are different masks people wear, you must trust your judgment that they are a good person and in your life for a good reason. The world is filled with people who wear masks. Try to be your true self and trust that things will work out for the better. Trust I know, I am slowly letting my guard down and trying to trust. Finding the real me. Do you all know where I am coming from? Have you been there? Are you a people pleaser?
Just my thoughts tonight. Wearing a mask whether good or bad. What do you do????
This is a hard one. I am a junk food person and love candy. I do not have just one favorite, it is a few that I love. Tootsie Roll is at the top of the list. This has been a favorite since I was little kid. Laffy Taffy is my second favorite and I love most of the flavors. Gummie bears/worms are next and the sour ones too. Of course, chocolate!!! Jolly Ranchers is another favorite, those are my favorite candies. What is yours?
I am thinking about life overall and I have been thinking about the things that I have failed at in life and wanted to open up about how I deal with those failures. So I have a question my blog peeps, and this can be used as a writing prompt if you are a writer and like to do writing prompts. The question is below as well as my response.
Do you deal with failure positively?
When it comes to failure and I, we are never on the same page. So, to answer this question I do not positively deal with failure. When I fail at something I am usually in an unpleasant mood. I take it to heart, and I feel like I hurt myself when I fail at something. I kind of shut down for a while and just be in a funk. I feel like it takes a while for me to fully process that I have failed. It is not a good feeling. I then start to question everything I have done leading to it. Feel like I must work so much harder for me not to fail. Failure I know happens from time to time life is not easy and pursuing your passions and your dreams there is a chance of failure. Me knowing this I still don’t like failing and feel like I am letting myself down or others. I know it is not okay for me to feel this way, but I do. Something I try to work on and know that everything will not always go my way. Failure is a part of life. Some of us need to accept that (ME). Learning to take things how they are when they arrive. Yeah, me and my Failures do not get along (LOL),
How do you deal with failure? How do you move past it? Care to share?
On this day I will be better than I was yesterday. I feel at peace at the moment, and I want to remain that way throughout the day. Positive thinking, positive mindset. I will not let anyone take me out my character and stoop to their level. I am in control over the way I respond, and act and I will be happy. Put a smile on my face and carry on with the day. Again happy, positive mindset today. I am thankful for this day, have everything I need, I’m writing and enjoying it.
Hope you all have a wonderful day. If you are not, I hope it gets better and I want to tell you to keep your head up and keep pushing through. Pray about it, have faith. Wishing you all the best, Peace, Love, Happiness, and Blessings. Have a good one.
