Be Yourself

Have you ever wondered who you really are?  Do you have different faces or voices with other people or situations?  Do you think that's normal?  Is it, for you?




Have you ever been with someone who brings out the best in you?  Someone with whom you feel totally yourself and at ease?  What does that feel like?  When is it?  With whom? 

Do you feel better amongst animals than people?  Why might that be?  Is it about being criticized and judged?  Or accepted for who you truly are, warts and all, anytime, all the time?  No matter what?  Have you ever thought about these things?  What do you tell yourself?  When is life happy?  When is it sad?  When do you feel upset or mad?  Does your dog care?  Does your cat even look up? 

If life is short (and it is!) then do you want to wear masks or be yourself?  All the time?  Does it feel more comfortable to let your hair down and not be judged?  Is love and acceptance a two-way street?  Do you have to give love to get love?  Does it matter?  What does?

Are our pets our closest companions and truest loves?
