Description
Here is a question for you:"How do you know if the face you put on for everyone is just a cheap act, a mask? You just put on a mask for everyone to see and you believe that this you. When you have no idea that there is another reason you do it: to hide the other side of you, your 'Shadow'. You use a 'Persona' to hide what you've hidden away to the deepest parts of your mind, so much that you barely know what it is you've hidden, and when you see what you hid, you try to deny and reject it. You only know who you are, once you know your shadow self, accept it, and create a completely new persona, a better one."
This is a drawing I've made because of the Psychology research I've been doing about Carl Jung's "Model of the Human Psyche" in my free time.
The "Persona" is basically the personality that you put on around other people. It is the way you want other people to see you as. It is a mask you wear in and for society.
The "Shadow" is whatever repressed thoughts, emotions, impulses, and personality traits that you have rejected and hidden away into your subconscious mind, and you deny it's even there.
There are many benefits that come from integrating your shadow and accepting it.
So the question remains: "What kind of mask do you wear?"

what dose it mean.

Kitty: The card of Justice and/or Strength, #11, basically means finding the perfect point between selflessness and selfishness. And #2, the High Priestess, I believe it represents secrets, mysteries, the unrevealed future, wisdom, science, radical theories, and new paradigms.

Kitty: Do you know what the art of Tarot is? It is a style of fortune telling, and based on what Red has told me, it is a fairly accurate source. Those 2 card are supposed to be your birth cards. #11, your personality card, shows the power of the card you have in this lifetime. Your other card, #2, is your soul card, the power of the card you carry with you through all your lifetimes.

Kitty As for me and Leaf, My card, #8, Strength, shows courage, obviously strength, resolve, energy, action, and success. And Red's cards, #10, The Wheel of Fortune, shows luck, possible wealth, but it also represents how life is like wheel, it has it's ups and downs, and how you need to expect the unexpected. And his other card, #1, The Magician, shows skill, dexterity, subtlety, willpower, adaption and cunning.
