Ah! Hello Anna, it is only by sharing our inner selves that we can allow the masks to start slipping away.
A mask will never fall of instantly, as it took a lot of work over years to make it fit properly so that it can hide all of the inner truth.
We are all human beings and each of us place ourselves in our own mental prisons. In fact they say that each of us walk our torturous route in life.
You are correct that everything has its time and I call them chapters in my life's book. One moment you are this and another moment you are that and so we stumble through life searching for full contentment.
A contentment that money, pride or achievements cannot buy as our hidden longing is to belong.
But first we must have freedom from ourselves, as we are our own worst enemies and the truth hurts.

I can go on and on, but let me just say here that you are brave enough to open up and it will certainly set you free. A trouble shared is a trouble halved.

Goodnight Lady Anna and have some !WINE

Ps. It seems that I have run out of WINE tokens. Let's see if I have !BEER tokens left!
