Masks…

Ola…

In life it is true that people wear masks… They wear them to protect themselves against pain or to protect themselves from getting too attached to people. From trusting the wrong people or trusting people too much or with the wrong info…

Some people even wear masks to keep themselves from caring or from falling in love, to keep themselves from hurting others or getting hurt again, some people wear them to enable themselves to leave easily, to forget easily…

Each of us have our own masks and we have our own reasons for wearing them. People who get to know you, start to see through those masks and some even see through them right from the start, from the first moment they meet you, the chances are slim, but they do exist…

And the masks don’t always help as much as you would like them to. In life people will always get close to you, it can’t be help. We are social creatures and we need interaction and companionship. Who you let close to you is up to you, and if we sometimes make the wrong decisions and choose the wrong people, we end up getting hurt…

This is a quote from A Cinderella Story… “Don’t let the fear of striking out; keep you from playing the game!” The fear of getting hurt shouldn’t cause you to stop trying all together… But, it is justifiable to be careful and to take your time. Take all the time in the world, all the time you need, because the people who are worth your while will still be right there waiting for you until you are ready… And from experience I can tell you that those are the people worth having in your life…

Another observation is that people always push the people away that are the closest to them. I think it’s because they are the nearest and they are the ones who can take it. They are the ones who can survive your pushing and shoving because no matter how hard you push, they will always be there for you!!! Even if you might not want them there… One day you will…

There is nothing wrong with wearing a masks to guard you heart, just don’t blame people for being able to see through those masks, they just care enough to try. And don’t be too afraid to commit to someone, whether in friendship or in a relationship… It might just be the most wonderful decision in your life, and make you the happiest person ever…

Wear your masks, we all have them, I have quite a few… Just not to the extent that they cause you any unhappiness, cause then it’s not worth it!!!

To all my friends out there, I love you soooooo much and I want to thank you for letting me see through your masks, I will treasure the gesture for always and forever. And thank you for being able to see through mine, and being the ones I can trust to do so…

This post isn’t directed to just one person in general, but to quite few and it generated out of quite a lot of my experiences and observations… I only put them all together in this post…
