The charlatan - the archetype of the Shadow

January 29th. The morning is grey, the color of an unuttered sorrow, and the light enters the room timidly, as if afraid to disturb the silence of my shipwreck. Here, in this empty space between a "before" and an uncertain "now," I attempt to arrange the debris of myself. When a person is deceived, they do not merely lose means; they lose the very architecture of their trust. The world, until then predictable and welcoming, suddenly shatters into jagged pieces that cut deep into the softest parts of the soul. The money... it was never just numbers. It was preserved time. It was hours of fatigue, of absence from my own life, of small deprivations that accumulated like grains of sand in the hourglass of my security. Every coin was a fragment of my effort, of my sleep, of my hope for a future where I would not be vulnerable. And when someone takes them with the ease of a charlatan, they do not steal currency—they steal a piece of my past and a vast portion of my peace...

Have the courage to be yourself without justifying

Life is filled with situations where we are faced with the demands and expectations of others. Social acceptance and approval are incentives that often drive us to change ourselves to fit their ideals and norms. However, in this constant battle for recognition, we can easily lose ourselves. That's why it is important to have the courage to be yourself without justifying.

 
Having the courage to be oneself means accepting and valuing oneself as we are, without conforming to the expectations of others. It doesn't mean becoming irresponsible or ignoring the opinions of others. Nonetheless, it means staying true to ourselves and our values, even if it means rejecting certain standards or avoiding the need to justify our actions.
 
When we have the courage to be ourselves, we expose our true feelings, thoughts, and beliefs to the world. Instead of trying to fit in with others, we choose to be honest and open about who we are and what we want. This allows the people around us to see and understand us in a more genuine way, accepting us for who we are without requiring us to justify or change ourselves.
 
Justifying oneself is often associated with fear of rejection or judgment from others. When we try to justify ourselves, we essentially deny ourselves and our actions. Not only does it deprive us of our individuality and authenticity, but it also prevents us from forming genuine connections with others. By having the courage to be ourselves without justifying, we embrace our true selves and invite others to do the same, fostering a sense of acceptance, understanding, and mutual respect.
