"They handed me a mask and called it kindness. Saying 'Wear this, then you'll be accepted.' So I wore it—until the silence behind my smile grew louder than their approval. I wasn’t loved. I was tolerated, as long as I wasn’t me." ~ 🎭

Remember, you don’t have to shrink to be loved.. The world may try to mold you, but the most beautiful thing you’ll ever be—is yourself. Unmasked. Unfiltered. Unapologetically real ❤️🩹
