Alleyways Print

Sometimes it is challenging to put set aside your facade and be the real you. In the context of a structure, the façade is the face of a building; the principal front that looks onto a street or open space. It is the side that the owner wants you to see to convey their message. But if you see the same place from the alleyway, you may find a different reality. Things may be in disorder, unclean, or perhaps it may even reveal some conditions that are in direct opposition to the message conveyed from the front. Or, it may look about the same. The view from the alleyway is usually more honest. People also have facades or outward appearances, that can change depending on their audience. Society sends us constant messages about what we should like, how we should dress, and how we should act. We strive to meet these standards by creating the most favorable impression possible, while sometimes concealing our flaws and weaknesses. We may exaggerate the truth about our abilities. We post overly self-promoting things to our social media accounts. We don't tell our friends how hard life is sometimes. But how do we look from the perspective of our own alleyways? Freedom comes when we reveal our true selves to the people we choose to be around, when we drop our facades and expose our alley-front realities to people. When we select honesty and self-awareness, it is much a much easier way to expend our energy. Do you let people see your reality and your truth? Do you let people stroll down your alleyway?
