There’s a Lesson in the Dream Face Reveal
It’s not easy, being transparent and vulnerable.
This past weekend, 23 year old Clay, the Youtuber and Twitch streamer known as Dream, took to the internet to reveal his face for the first time.
“Just met Dream!! :)” — George, another popular gaming streamer who has been internet friends with Dream for years without ever meeting him in person.
On Sunday evening, Dream took to Twitter, where every single one of his tweets tend to go viral, to give the world a two-hour heads up that he would be premiering his face reveal on YouTube. He also shared that he would be posting a picture of him and his “best friends finally being together.”
The reason we chose this as our north star inspiration this week is not because we’re obsessed, happy, disturbed or unimpressed, but because we believe there’s a lesson in Dream’s face reveal.
Have you ever felt like you wish you could share a part of yourself with a certain person or group of people in your life, but you didn’t know how to share it or how it might be received? That’s sort of the big deal around Dream revealing his face to the world, especially after keeping it strategically hidden for so long.
There’s something freeing about being yourself fully in every space you occupy and being able to share yourself freely with others. Of course, that doesn’t mean that everyone needs to know everything about you and your personal business. You can be yourself and still practise healthy boundaries in your life while being careful to ensure you don’t slip into the dark side of compartmentalisation.
This week, we are celebrating Dream’s decision to share his face with the world. It’s not easy, being transparent and vulnerable. Society plays a huge role in the build up of the challenge. Still, no matter what people say or think of you, only you get to determine who you will be and how you will share yourself with the world.
