False ID: Who Do You Become When You Hide? 🙈
🪪 Ever caught yourself smiling politely, nodding along, or muting a part of you just to fit in?
It’s subtle at first.
You learn which parts of you are “too much” or “not enough.”
So you tuck them away — and craft a version of yourself that feels safer. More acceptable. Less ruffle-the-feathers-y 🕊️
But over time?
That version starts to feel like a false ID.
Something you carry around to get past other people’s checkpoints.
Not to belong — but to avoid being rejected 🚷
And here’s the catch:
The more convincing the false ID becomes…
…the more distant you feel from the real you 🫤
You laugh, but it’s not your real laugh.
You agree, but something in you cringes.
You succeed — but it doesn’t taste like success 🥀
All because you’re trying to stay safe in a world that once taught you:
being yourself comes with a cost.
But what if the cost of not being yourself is even higher?
💬 You’re allowed to be the real you — even if it ruffles feathers.
Even if it makes people squint.
Even if it means starting again with your real name at the gate 🎟️
So —
