Can’t Judge A Book By It’s Cover

A post Terri did recently started me thinking. I have always found it interesting how “put together” people appear at first glance. We assume because they drive a decent car, have a roof over their heads, and nice clothes that all is well. But upon further inspection we find that they struggle with the same fears, insecurities, frustrations, and concerns, as the rest of us. It really doesn’t matter how you dress it up; we are very much the same! I find it just as interesting, to observe the great lengths people go to in order to hide those fears, insecurities, and struggles. Sorry, that takes too much energy!

    It’s nice to know someone else gets it!

    Just because we don’t choose to live in a vulnerable state doesn’t mean we don’t feel the pain.

    I am not speaking of vulnerability, I am speaking of hypocrisy, playing the role! Appearing to be something or someone they aren’t! Our world needs authenticity, not players.

    Amen! We all have a story to tell, but for some reason, certain people can’t bring themselves to acutally BE themselves. It’s all a game that, for me, takes too much time, money, and energy to keep up.

    True, so true.
