"爱揭掉了那些我们恐惧自己无法活下去但知道无法在其中生活的面具"

Simplified Meaning:
Love helps us be our true selves, removing the masks or false fronts we often put on. These masks are the personalities or behaviors we adopt to fit in or protect ourselves from being hurt. Even though we sometimes think we need these masks to survive in society, deep down we know we aren't happy pretending to be someone else. For example, imagine a shy person acting overly confident to impress others. When they fall in love and feel accepted, they no longer need to keep up the act. They can relax and show their true, shy nature without fear of judgment. Love creates a space where we feel safe and accepted, allowing us to be genuine and authentic.
