The
Hidden
Truth Have
you
ever
heard
of
the
phrase
"mirror
image?"
It
means
that
something
is
identical
in
form,
but
reversed.
Well,
that's
how
my
life
feels
sometimes. Growing
up,
I
was
always
known
as
the
quiet
and
shy
girl.
My
peers
would
ask
me
questions,
but
I
would
hold
back
from
answering.
I
was
scared
of
being
judged
or
criticized
for
my
opinions.
As
a
result,
I
would
often
lie
or
give
half-truths
to
avoid
confrontation.
I
felt
like
I
was
constantly
hiding
behind
a
mask,
afraid
to
show
who
I
truly
was. But
over
time,
I
realized
that
my
fear
of

judged
was
holding
me
back.
I
started
to
speak
up,
share
my
thoughts,
and
be
myself.
It
wasn't
always
easy,
but
it
felt
liberating.
Suddenly,
I
wasn't
hiding
behind
a
mask
anymore.
I
started
to
feel
more
confident
and
comfortable
with
who
I
was. However,
my
journey
towards
self-acceptance
wasn't
all
smooth
sailing.
It
brought
to
light
some
harsh
truths
about
myself
that
I
had
been
avoiding
for
a
long
time.
I
discovered
that
I
was
incredibly
self-critical
and
would
beat
myself
up
over
the
slightest
mistake.
It
was
easy
to
see
the
good
in
others,
but
I
struggled
to
see
it
in
myself. It
was
a
tough
realization,
but
I
knew
I
needed
to
face
it
head-on
if
I
wanted
to
continue
growing
as
a
person.
I
started
practicing
self-compassion
and
being
kinder
to
myself.
I
found
that
it
helped
to
keep
a
journal
and
write
down
all
the
things
that
I
was
proud
of
and
grateful
for
each
day. Looking
back,
I
realize
that
it's
okay
to
be
imperfect
and
make
mistakes.
It's
all
part
of
the
journey
towards
self-discovery.
Sometimes
it
takes
a
bit
of
backward
thinking
to
truly
see
the
hidden
truths
about
ourselves.
But
once
we
do,
it's
up
to
us
to
embrace
them
and
continue
growing.
