A Sequel to Wifely Duties: The heart never forgets. But what if it does and never remembers back? Written ©️ 2018 (Published 2019 by PHR)

We understand how dangerous a mask can be, we become what we pretend to be. The mask becomes our own skin, until we are consumed by the lies and the pretendings. But I guess it can't be helped. No one will love you unless you wear a mask on. No one will accept you unless you become the person they wanted you to be. No one will love you for who you are. No one will look at you without your mask. No one. Not even one. However, love.. the most powerful thing in the world, is the only one who can reveal the face behind the mask. Love is the only way to be freed. Love is the only acceptance you can get. Too bad I don't believe in love. And I would rather forever wear a mask.
