Faces or Phases but it is a Messy Affair

Are the people who surround us truly who they are seen to be? A question I often ponder over. Even in years being surrounded by people whom I cherished and did everything in my stead to please, there are dark sides that start to show and it hurts the fact that you never knew they were such people.

I guess over the years people grow tired of putting on that mask because others do not realize their worth or efforts or even appreciate them. I believe they grow frustrated with how their lives have become.

Even now, when I look at people around me I ask myself, are they being genuine or are they just putting on an act for fear they might hurt me? I prefer honesty over fear for hurting others. When you're honest, both involved can learn to move on or live with it accepting and experiencing new things and reality. But when the act is continued, you mislead, misunderstand and will forever remain sadly an imitation. You will never be able to come to terms with yourself, and you will never be able to let people know how you truly feel about them, be it good or bad. And you will never be able to find true happiness. 

Yes there are times where we feel like we just want to run away and escape from reality. But these are temporary defenses which we put up or turn to when going through a hard time. Look on the bright side, if there are objects, people or places that you are able to find solace and happiness in, be with them.

Each experience painful or joyful, is a stepping stone into the destiny written for us. Each decision made have been foreseen by our spiritual creators. We may be hurt over the times that were dark and cold. But when things like that happen, think about the people around us, is our situation that dire? Can we overcome this ordeal? Help will come to those who seek them.

Time may heal all wounds but the scars remain so try not to hurt the people close to you. You never know how long they will be around or how long you may stick around. Isolation only makes one more lonely, drowning one in depression.

"Forgive the past, make new memories, forget the pain and remember only happiness."
