1. What does “the mask we wear” mean to you?
The mask we wear represents the facade or image we present to the world, often hiding our true selves. It’s the societal expectations, roles, or personas we adopt to fit in or gain approval.

People can be more authentic by embracing their unique strengths, passions, and values. It’s about being honest with oneself and others, taking risks, and being vulnerable.
