I don't know why I like masks. Since I was young, I was able to see through peoples masks, which made me sad and depressed. I found out that the majority of people around me hide behind a mask and am the only one who did not. However, I became like them. I started to hide behind a mask when I became a grown up. I miss being honest. I miss standing against everything that I thought was wrong to me and for someone else. It sad reality of who I become. Like everyone else, hiding behind a mask. I seek to be free from it. I miss my young self who was brave and honest. There is in not being exposed to the ills of our world. I don't look for my childhood years but look and yearn for my childhood character. Growing up is not bad but forgetting that I once was a child who was fearless and brave is. I don't know if I'm the only one that feels this way or it's universal.
There is one thing that I'm happy about having a mask is that I'm breaking it apart little by little and seeing my true self for the first time. My self, who I have not looked at and ignored for many years because of fear of facing myself. Thus, living in the world and its circus and not becoming who I meant to be. I'm not old nor a child, I'm young and still naive of the world and its secrets but I'm hopeful that one day, whenever it comes, I will become the brave and honest child who I once was.
Any thoughts of what im going through?

you want to hide from society, reality but its ok, you'll learn to face it when you grow older. Be brave child, it will come together, you're just at a stage in life where you don't want to accept reality. It will hit you soon that you can't keep hiding. You might have to open up, but dont pressurise yourself to do it too soon.
ReplyThanks. It makes sense.
ReplySo true! Thanks for sharing this. Most people are pretty much living a lie. How awesome that you've known this from such a young age and thanks for reminding us to take off the masks, even if it's a little at a time.
