Novel & Cerita You Can't Hide From Yourself

I had tried frantically to find a way around the problem, a loophole or an escape route, but every single possible solution ultimately led me right back to the exact same bleak conclusion. I would never be completely safe, no matter how hard, or how long, I tried to hide in plain sight. One day, the inescapable truth would finally find its way back to me, tearing down every wall I had built. I could easily spend years pretending to be someone I wasn’t, wearing a mask of normalcy, but I couldn’t outrun my true nature forever. Rumors could occasionally be buried under new gossip, memories could be hidden away in the dark corners of the past, and secrets could be protected with lies, but none o

(AHVI'S POINT OF VIEW) "You can run, dear, but you can't hide from your destiny. When you fear and love something, it becomes your greatest flaw." There are a few things I know I can't run away from. First is the reverberating sound of my grandmother's words in my head for no good cause and some so-called destiny she invariably speaks about. Second is the loud cheers of the audience right outside the backstage, waiting while their screams get vociferous. I swallow the lump that has cropped up on my throat and rub my moist hands together. And thirdly-

"I know you must be disappointed that I haven't done anything about Adriane yet, but..." "I am not worried about that, I know you are taking your time to make sure that nothing is going to cloud your way of thinking for now. but I want you to know that if you decide to keep things like this subtle then one day it will come back and it will bit you where it hurts and then you will want to think of ways to avoid the problem but it will keep biting you to the extent you will always want to hide your face in shame."

"Dorian thinks he can do whatever and the painting takes the hit. But it doesn't work. The consequences catch up anyway." "Right. You can't actually run from yourself. Eventually , " "Eventually you have to look in the mirror," Dorian cut in. I made the mistake of looking at him. He was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed, staring right at me. "What I mean is," he continued, "that's the scary part. Not the stuff he does. It's that he can't hide from it forever. At some point you have to deal with who you really are." Half the class was nodding. Even the phone people were paying attention.

“I’ll be back soon. And when I return, I expect you’ll have learned something.” I met his gaze, refusing to look away. “Learned what?” He gave a faint, almost pitying smile. “To stop hiding from yourself.” The door clicked shut behind him. And just like that, the room was silent again. I sank onto the edge of my bed, running a hand through my hair, my pulse still pounding. Stop hiding from yourself. He always had a way of saying things that stuck like splinters, even when I wanted to ignore them. I wasn’t hiding.

But I hope — maybe foolishly — that this buys me one thing: Silence. Not the kind that hides guilt. But the kind that says: “I saw myself. And I didn’t like what I saw.” Maybe that’s a beginning. Maybe that’s all I get. Maybe it’s enough.

“Same time next session. Wear something you can actually move in. The extra shirt is just another way you hide.” I got to my feet. My legs felt unsteady for more than one reason. Jake unlocked the door, then paused with his hand on the handle. “If you want results,” he said, cool and easy, “you have to stop hiding from your own body. That’s the deal. Take it or don’t come back.” I picked up my bag. I didn’t tell him I was coming back. I didn’t have to. We both already knew.

"I'm not even doing anything...why can't I just be myself.. is that wrong?" "I'm warning you Precious... better be yourself pretty soon before you find yourself homeless..."

“Like always.” My chest tightened. "Like always," almost like it was our slogan. I was so tired of hearing those words: hide the mark, hide yourself, hide every piece of you that people might hate. I would be doing that this time. “You know what?" “What?” “Let's not hide it this time. I mean, if I'm meeting my mate today. He should know me as me; if he doesn't want me, he can reject me. I'm not going to be the first person to be rejected.”
