Places

What is it about our society that encourages masks and discourages authenticity? 

Our social media profiles are "best of" collections and everything is always "good" or "fine" if someone asks. 

Even if it isn't, people don't want to hear about it. 

How did we get here?

How did we arrive at a place where we are called on to perform rather than live? 

A place where being yourself is no longer ok. 

A place where we hide behind titles & possessions. 

A place where we don't really know anyone. 

How did we get here?

More importantly, How do we leave?

How do we get to the place where we don't have to wear the mask?

The place where it's ok to be yourself. 

The place where it's ok to hurt. 

The place where it's ok to be honest. 

The place where it's ok to not have it all together. 

How do we get there?

The place where we stop hiding. 

The place where we stop faking. 

The place where we stop performing. 

The place where we start living...

Threes

They say death comes in threes
disappointment comes in twos
& sorrow comes alone but hates to leave
