For those who are reading,
You have been living like other people for 20 years. When will you be yourself?
Hopefully soon
Wanting to be someone else makes everything easy. We try hard because we want to get and achieve the same thing. It makes us willing to stay up late for 24 hours, and avoid the sound of bed at night. We lose track of time and are always in a productive state all the time. We try to achieve whatever we dream of.
Being someone else makes us minimize the time we spend with people, so that we can do productive things. We eliminate recreation time so that we can stay "on" all day. We even forget to have breakfast, even if it's just a slice of bread and warm tea.
We lose track of time, and when we wake up it's already afternoon.
We miss various routines for several hours on earth. We even forget that the earth revolves around the sun. We think there's no need to study astronomy, what's the benefit for us personally?
People start to think of us as anti-social, even if we ignore it. The important thing is that we don't disturb their lives, we walk according to our own rules. Tiredness and fatigue, our bodies feel it themselves. Our personalities are not entangled in their lives.
Finally, at some point, when we have become tired. We just realize that all this time, living life as "someone else" is actually nothing, we have spent so much valuable time. And now we are alone, no one to accompany us.
It turns out that living life as someone else is just an ambition, which makes us less useful to others. In fact, this makes us forget, the people we love in the world. We even forget to accept ourselves as we are.
And now time has made us aware of the importance of living in the world. Sharing joy and togetherness with the people around us.
The world is a place where we can meet anyone, meet people and invite them to talk. It turns out that the world is not as narrow as we think ...
As long as we choose to remain ourselves.
Today we realize that we can actually rely on anyone, proof that we love them, appreciate their existence.
And if we realized this earlier, a long time ago. We would be among those who will never leave, even though we have died.
We will not regret this beautiful world, because here we all laugh happily or sadly full of wounds.
We finally know what the world is really like.
The world does not try to bring us down, the world only tries to convince us that we are valuable people, with various tiring struggles, endless hopes and joys that we can find wherever we are.
The world will be our field of charity, when we have gone to the other world. Letting us go with happy tears that are difficult for them to say, tears that will explain. And the earth will accept us in its depths as valuable friends, even though our bodies will die and become bones.

If we live our lives as someone else there will come a time that the mask you're wearing will eventually take off from your face and it will be very humiliating if a lot of people sees it. No one will trust you anymore .
