Observation
I've never fit in. I'm most comfortable tucked away in a dark corner here all alone. Although some folks try, I don't feel like anyone will truly understand this part of me. I work hard everyday for my family and friends and at the end of the day I LIVE for a moment of silence all by myself. This is the tug of war on my life. A constant attempt at balance. I am just doing my best.
Replies by this mask
- The greatest treasure is love.
- Be yourself unapologetically. No one else has your story. No one else has your heart. Finish strong.
- Do we ever really grow up? Or do we just learn to hide it? Children are life's greatest teachers. They teach us joy, playfulness, love, friendship. My children are my everything. Everyday is a gift.
Revision
I must decrease.
