A mask can be a tricky thing. It can be used for both good and bad. It disguises us into something else. I decided along time ago to stop wearing a mask. Now their are certain situations were I have to put one on for another person's well good or well-being, but for the most part I don't.
When we take our masks off, we can recognize each other's pain. We become transparent and yes sometimes vulnerable, but if it is to help someone else then why not. Isn't that what we are called to do?
I don't go around with a sign that says, "I am Bipolar." I do however share with those who ask or are going through a tough time. I share how far I have come by the grace of God. I can share my experiences. We go through things to learn from them and grow, and if I can make someone else's journey a little easier I will.
If I am struggling, I let my close inner circle of friends know so that they can pray for me. I am reading a book right now that sums it all up in the title. I'm Not a WONDER WOMAN but God Made Me Wonderful!
