There are two types of people in this world: one hides behind their masks which I believe is purely deceptive. It could be perhaps to hide their ugly selves. As though a garbage bin if painted well on the outside would stop giving out its stench. They hide themselves perhaps out of fear of being reprimanded or out of the inferiority complex of being judged. Reasons are plenty. But it sounds way too hypocritical to me. If you ain't on the outside as you're on the inside then I find it something really faulty. There's another class. The bold, the courageous, the valorous - who wear their hearts on their sleeves. What they reveal is what they have on the inside. What even is there to hide. There is no reason at all to conceal your truest identity. Be it darkness or light, they wear it with pride. Halos or horns they take ownership. They kiss their mistakes. They embrace their own 'weirdness', if at all they're to be measured by worldly standards. A total chaotic mess in every sense but something that they deeply celebrate. Not one ounce of regret. These are the ones who dance insane to every music that rings in their ears, unconcerned about what the world would think or say. Little rebels, these are the ones who eventually changes the scales. Pull down your veils and own the beauty that's been gifted on your face!
Who else is more qualified to write about you than you? Through writing and painting we express , joy , sorrow, parts of our soul, our hearts and mind. Everything that’s hidden in us we bring forward for everyone to look at and read through their lenses.
Why does it have to hurt so badly when you tell someone the truth?
I think it's because true love is a double ended sword.
When you love someone you tell them the truth, even if it hurts. The lie will hurt worse and you're no different than the rest.
Every time you make the decision, you're sacrificing yourself and what they might think of you for their own good to help them.
You risk stabbing yourself as well when you stab them with honesty.
Caring, loving, and getting close to people is terrifying but when you unconditionally love with no barriers their well-being is more important than yours.
You might hurt, they might hurt too but in the end, shedding a bit of blood and patching up each other's wounds is far better than lies and deception.
Emotional intimacy means both you and your partner feel safe and comfortable with this type of uninhibited expression around each other. It involves actively listening, expressing thoughts and feelings honestly, being open to understanding each other's perspectives and having the feeling that the other partner listens and understands you. Good emotional closeness helps both partners support, understand and accept each other.
It reminded me of how expressing something large and complex can sometimes be overwhelming because it’s hard to pick where to start. The limitations actually helped me overcome that feeling of overwhelm and narrow down the focus to one corner of the entire experience.
My thoughts often make me realize that how tangled up they are and i am bad at organizing them. Overthinking leads to unrealistic scenarios which just hurt your expectations. I do like who i have become after what i have gone through in the last two years but i really sometimes miss my old self. I just miss how carefree and frivolous i was and how impulsively and spontaneously i used to take my decisions. Sometimes i wonder how moronic my actions were but they really gave me that instant happiness which i miss today. My present self is now evolved but i do wish that i could un-evolve myself and be that funky riya(rio) for once. See, how unorganized my thoughts are….. ok gotta go to think something else.
