Being opaque is – holding oneself back,
Blocking our thoughts,
Suppressing oneself,
Constricting the flow of life,
Feeling suffocated….
All of this, to please someone, to keep relationships sane, to look good, to belong.
We all go through this in some form or other, and hence, we end up not living our life to the fullest, we are unable to enjoy life or allow life to happen to us.
If only, we could break free of these shackles….
If only, we could be like a prism to reflect all the colors of a rainbow…
If only, we could practice being transparent on a moment to moment basis, we could see the clear reflection of thoughts, feelings, colors and life.

Being transparent definitely ensures a clear personality devoid of the opaque facade we put on many a time. Your post is food for thought Deepika 🙂

I enjoyed reading your post. If only we could become like a prism, our true colors can shine through. Yet, to oftem we are worried that we might “shine brighter” than the others. Transparency is something I strive for, yet I know that I am more opaque most days.
Great post!

A thought that often crosses my mind, Deepika. Would I call them shackles or priorities or obligations that bind us and keep us grounded and stop us from flying. May be that is the way of the world, yet, the thought remains.

True pranitha. It’s tough, but not impossible. Becoming aware of thoughts and letting go on a moment to moment basis is what will help us achieve transparency.
Thanks pranitha, glad you liked it.
