In today's world it's a trend to dissimulate or pretend, then holding a masquerade to hide your true emotions. Behind laughter and obligatory smiles they conceal their deepest fears and inner true self. The pressure to conform, fit in and avoid judgements the genuine emotions remain suppressed. What if we dare to show our authenticity, what if we start showing how actually we feel inside each day?

The fear of vulnerability, lack of self-awareness, past traumas hold us back from expressing one's true self. Behind the facade of confidence and control there hides the suffocating feeling of being trapped under our own emotions. The question "how are you" does it really get the correct answer or reply? People tend to wear a masquerade as a shield in front of the authenticity. What if we lowered the mask and exposed our own selves? Perhaps we would find that the people who we were hiding from were also wearing masks. Internally, we are all struggling and striving for existence.
