the real you - leah williamson

intro

We face the day wearing masks.

We all do it. 

Facing each day should not be about

wearing a mask, but about removing one.

The only way to let light in is to open the 

shades... the only way to let your own light

shine is to reveal it.

We're all going to wear different masks

until we realise that only one needs to 

be seen-

there's no better way to feel the truth of 

the wind and the honesty of the sunrise 

than on our bare skin.
