From the moment you took your first breath, the world handed you a script. It wasn’t signed, but it carried the weight of everyone around you—family, teachers, leaders. Their voices blended into one, telling you who you should be, what you should believe, whom to admire, and where to place your loyalties. This script shaped your days and nights so deeply that its borders feel like home, even if they pinch and bind. But somewhere beneath that constant noise, another voice stirs—a quiet feeling that the life you live isn’t truly yours.

When the Mask Falls: The Truth About Who We Really Are, won’t welcome those comfortable with easy answers. It challenges the stories we’ve been told about power, history, and identity. Power does not twist people into villains; it reveals who they were beneath their masks all along. Nations paint themselves in grand colors, but behind those flags and monuments lie stories soaked in suffering and theft. Even the family, which we’re taught to trust without question, can be the first prison we never saw. To move forward, you must question everything. Sometimes that means standing alone in the cold light of what feels real and what hides beyond it.

Much of what society calls truth is a crafted illusion, meant to keep us safe within their lines. This is when you drop their stories and see the world freshly, with eyes unclouded by their filters. The only question left is the one they hoped you’d never ask: who are you when you stop playing the part they wrote for you?
