The facade

I had this discussion/conversation with a friend yesterday about how we tend to appear strong although you know that somewhere deep down inside, there is this strong temptation to crumble down and let the weakness overcome you. Somehow, I cannot deny this viewpoint because it's true. Some of us choose not to admit defeat, because when we resist surrender, it's a sign that you're strong. Because the fact that you don't let the weakness overpower you, you're strong. Because when you admit defeat, it's the easiest route you take, and you perceive this as a sign of weakness. Because this, is our defense system.

You know what's the beauty of this struggle? You remove this facade and show yourself only to the people who means the most to you. And that's when you reveal every inch of your weakness. The most beautiful thing is to make the other persons know how much they mean to you while at the end of the day, you feel a million times better just by exposing your weakness.
