The desire to maintain our reputation prevent us from being who we are. Reputation doesn't define us. What truly defines us is what we really are but it seems like nobody knows that but ourselves. We have to set these insecurities away. These are the things that people see you as but not who you really are. Some people devote their energies in pursuit of building a good reputation. In a society like ours, it is very hard to gain and quite easy to lose. People look up to you when you have a good name. It is also a reality that all the years of hard work to maintain a good reputation, in just one fatal mistake, it can change in a blink of an eye. Thinking not to disgrace our reputation, we take caution in every move we make, making sure nothing changes, causing us to be something we're not quite are. Honestly, we do this everyday we just don't realize it anymore. How do we know? Well, we will know if it seems like we act differently in different places like at home or in school. A different reputation at home and a different one for school too. Fairly, it starts to feel like a burden sometimes. We seem to be like a puppet controlled by the reputation that we have. These strings finally come off when nobody's looking.
