APPEARANCES CAN DECEIVE

Appearances are deceptive. We are all influenced by what we see. This is so true in our everyday lives, the people that we meet. When I look in the mirror I see one thing about myself and others see something different. In the world that we live in a lot of people are not living in reality. 

This at times makes me question who I really am. I want my reality to be who I am naturally and not what people think. I appear most times to have myself together but on the flip side I am drowning inside. My fears are taking over. I want to be who I am but the world will see me as weird because I dare to be different but I'm really being me. 

Life is turning me into an great actress. My performance is becoming so natural, now the real Nikki is getting lost. I don't want to transform into the image the world wants me to be. With people I meet I have to go into acting mode. They don't want to see a genuine person. They want what they see on TV Instagram, Facebook & Twitter. A lot that's not reality. How has this world become so diluted into Fakeness?  It seems nobody knows their authentic self anymore.

This makes me focus on the words & actions of people. If your words don't match your actions you are not being genuine to me. The actor is showing up. People take off your mask. Don't be afraid to show who you really are. Some will love it, others will hate but freedom to be yourself is so worth it.
