“When we are not ourselves, we are cut off from love”

Simplified Meaning:
When we aren't true to who we really are, it's hard for others to really connect with us. Think about pretending to be someone you're not just to fit in or make others happy. Over time, this act can make you feel alone and misunderstood because people are not seeing the real you. For example, imagine wearing a mask at a party all night; people might talk to you, but they aren't connecting with the real person underneath. To experience genuine love and connection, you need to drop the mask and be your true self. Being honest about your feelings, likes, and dislikes helps people understand you better and form real bonds with you.
