I delude myself

in being likeable for short term
validation and even forget to feel
gratification despite tons
of praises. I developed several
masks- a one size fits all. Sometimes
I am not sure which I have on
or even what I am underneath.
I even starved myself of food
to make myself look congruent
to people's choice. Living my life
on fellow human terms, I lost
my truth and worthiness
and consciousness
of who am I, so much was I
reduced to an echo. Only when I
focus on what makes me
really happy, I discovered my genuine
self, reluctant to please everybody. I
learnt to live my own life, learning
always something new. and welcome
friendship and love without
a price tag.
