Like puppets

You come into this world knowing nothing. All you do is feel.

When you're a baby, you feel love or rejection. You feel security or danger. Hunger or fear. Happiness or sadness. You know why, in that moment you feel it and you know how to achieve satisfaction.

But that's when you're a child, cause when I was little all that mattered was the present. I'm hungry, I eat. I'm sad, I cry. I'm hapy, I laugh. I'm lonely, I seek attention. Cause there are no ulterior motives.

But then, you meet other people. You seek attention but sometimes no one hears you. You laugh but sometimes it's not funny for others. You play as you wish, but sometimes you can't. You feel sad, but sometimes you should learn from it.

After you learn to communicate, you get yourself some friends. You chase them around, play with them, fight with them and then get some new friends. You've learned how to survive: make friends, don't get caught and always do your best.

When you start to be aware of your feelings, in a more deeper level than just the primary needs, that's when it all changes. You start planning things, having ulterior motives and all to satisfy your wishes. You relearn again, how to survive: smile, ask for forgiveness, never show your feelings.

From then on, it's all a puppet show. What you present yourself to be by day can be tottaly different from what you present yourself to be by night. It's all in the acting.

People start liking the idea of you. They like the person you present yourself under circunstances that you can control, you choose what to say, when to say and how and who you should say it to. It's like being an actor, and everyone's an audience. You don't share the hard parts, the difficult nights, the nightmares and the tears or the regrets. You give them what they want and get what you think you need.

That's all you do the rest of your life. And why? To achieve your dreams? Or someone else's?

Is it you happiness or is it someone else's standard's and dreams? Think about that.

When we start realizing that we influence each other in every aspect, that's when you figure it out: We can be ourselves. That's when the light comes, the love enters and happiness isn't just a mask.

When you realize how powerful you are, that's when you chase your dreams and do god.

Cause when enough people look stupid, it becomes normal.
