The Clothing Of the Mask.
Posted on: May 2, 2012
I dont know how far I’ve gone
wading as I struggle to see what’s in front
There’s no turning back
For I’ve lost my way
I wonder if I’m lost to stay.
All humans have a basic trait of fending for themselves. Our minds are programmed in a way that no matter where we might be, we always manage to find our way home. But is that really applicable to everyone? How far is too far? And is it possible that sometimes we might be lost to stay? As we move on to different things and people, we look back at what we and our circumstances have been, but how do we know if we’ve really left it all behind to embrace something new? Is pushing it into the attic enough? Or do we actually need to pick it up and throw it out?
Right now someone is at a place in her life where she needs to throw away the old and go pick up something new, something that fits better. But how do we know what is worth the purchase? It needs to look good, feel good and something we want to flaunt, no matter how the rest of the world may perceive it. Sometimes, it may not fit well, it may not be vibrant but we never let go of it because it feels so comfortable, and we feel safe in it. But sometimes it lies at the back of our closets and we never take a second look at it. Those are the kind that are bought because they seemed so attractive for that split-second. Is it okay to wear something that doesn’t bring out who we really are? Do we wear to reveal or conceal? Clothes and masks- they’re all the same. Always concealing what lies beneath…
