“I feel like I live wearing a mask.”
A lot of people said this, perhaps you did too. We long to be our own self, yet the world often isn’t ready to face our true selves. So we put the mask back on, the one that makes us accepted.
The third book from the mega best selling author of Seorang Pria yang Melalui Duka dengan Mencuci Piring and Seorang Wanita yang Ingin Menjadi Pohon Semangka di Kehidupan Berikutnya, this book explores how childhood wounds and past experiences shape the masks we wear today. It reminds us that trauma always finds its own way to express itself, no matter how we try to conceal it. We may appear as strong adults from the outside, but inside we remain as the frightened children hiding behind a superhero mask.
