The Blue Veil supports the creation of an external facade, so the inner self, others will never find.
-The Blue Veil, 2012, Leigh Turgeon
Have you ever met someone that just seemed to happy? Well, as I have struggled with depression I have often resented those people, until I realized this one thing. What if their overt and obvious (sometimes sickening) happiness was a façade just like the one I cultivated for my external self every day? What if these people were also hurting inside and not showing it externally? Whether this was true about people or not, I would never know. Just like, I hoped, no one would ever see behind my carefully designed façade. I think they did…if they took the time to look, did they?
To purchase a copy of "The Blue Veil" (well worth it, in my opinion):
