Losing A Shining Star

You don't need to know someone in person for them to bless your life.Robin Williams truly did inspire all of our imaginations and touch our hearts. He became the characters he played in a way very few are able to.. He made us believe in magic, and reminded us that we should never stop dreaming, that we should always keep a sense of child like wonder when looking at the world. He encouraged us not to take ourselves too seriously and that it was OK to be weird and wacky - We could be who ever we wanted to be! .

Sometimes it takes death to remind us we are alive. I think it's amazing to see so much love everywhere for a true shining star.. And I hope that perhaps it will encourage people to reach out to those around them, to see each other as fellow humans without judging with labels or division, and to connect more; to reach out and offer support, or to ask for help.

RIP to a wonderful soul, thank you for everything you taught us  .

"You know what music is? God’s little reminder that there’s something else besides us in this universe; harmonic connection between all living beings, every where, even the stars." Robin Williams

Beautiful when naked: revealing our inner selves

We wear masks. 

We are afraid of who we really are and what people will think of us. We often walk around with painted faces and disguised truths so that we may be accepted. So that the world might think we are normal, just like everyone else. So that we fit in

We have become so adept at cunning deceptions, that we are living in a fantasy land of characters, all dressed up and script written. People see what we let them see. We show people the sides of us we think they will like, the personality traits we think will make us accepted.

We are afraid of reality, vulnerability and ‘weakness’. But real strength comes from knowing yourself truly, in all your perfect imperfection; your flawed glory, and being OK with that.  

I can’t play make believe with a society who deems it unacceptable to stand out from the crowd, and by this, I don’t mean wearing bright clothes, or being eccentric. By this I mean from feeling and showing emotions and questioning things, expressing myself fully and openly.

To love yourself in all your aspects is to accept yourself for everything you really are; your shadows and your light, your strengths and your weaknesses. Awareness of who you are is the most beautiful aspect of human life.

Awareness and vulnerability is the real strength of character and says more about a person than the symmetry of their face or the clothes they wear.

Reality is sexy and truth is an aphrodisiac; Taking off your clothes is one thing, but to take off your mask and show your true self is the most erotic strip tease; the soul shines and is more desirable than the flesh that is exposed.

Let’s take off our masks and reveal our naked truth, in all its gorgeous glory.
