Masks

People have been using masks since the ancient times, for various different things but the sole reason for every mask is to hide the true identity of the wearer. I believe that people wear different masks even today, not in a literal sense but a figurative one. If you think about it, how often are we seeing the complete true identity of people. I know for me, I have a vast range of masks that I use. Even if I'm not using a mask, and I'm trying to show the real me, I like to think of it as I'm wearing make up, so I show a lot of myself, but I keep the scars and most of the imperfections hidden. But its hard keeping that mask on all the time, and even though you try so hard to hide it all, sometimes some of you that you don't mean leaks out, and for me it isn't pleasant. Work is the hardest place to keep my mask on all the time, especially when I feel like crap gets thrown in my face. How are you supposed to see, and function if you are all dirty. You have to take the mask off and clean it, so that way no one gets suspicious. You also can get a rash if all you do is wear a mask, and you let no time for just you to show, so that is the purpose of this blog. It will allow me to let my guard down so I can give myself time to heal from all the mask wearing. My hope is that everyday, I take a little bit more of the mask off and I will be able to let some of the old, deep and infected wounds heal.
