Sometimes it’s among strangers.
People we’ll never again see.
That we are ourselves.
As true as can be.

So true… The need to meet our friends and families’ expectations make us hide behind a mask. With strangers, we don’t feel obliged to change our ways… Very interesting post 🙂 Thank you for sharing your thoughts! xx

Indeed is true, and why? That would be a good question to ask about us, the human nature.

True 💯 Sometimes we say it as a default action the other times we just want to avoid explaining why we are sad and want to finish the conversation before it starts as we want some solitude…
