Words of Wisdom for the Weary

I think I've changed my mind a little about that whole mask thing. Like, since I wrote that blog thing Monday on the ArmsofMisery blog.

I always said before that it was bad to wear a mask in front of people and I still think that, kind of. I still think people should be able to be only themselves all of the time and not be judged. However, I think that the way people use masks and the kinds of things the masquerade as define them and make them who they are.

Sometimes, I feel like you'd miss out on things if you were just being yourself. I can't really justify it. Just, in my experience, certain things wouldn't have happened to people if they weren't acting a little.

Of course I am not saying that you should try to be someone you aren't, but I think maybe it could be redefined. It's okay if you are pretending to be something you aren't because that might actually be who you are.
