The Real me is a hard thing to see...

So...blogging is a completely new thing for me! But as someone wise once said "In order to face your fears try one new every day." I guess this is my new thing.


I've realized lately that one of the only reasons I ever really smile anymore is to watch someone else's face light up. There's just something about watching someone go from sad to happy all within 1 minute. And I guess one of the reasons I watch their faces light up is because I want to see if maybe their joyful mood will somehow come out into me...does that even make sense?

The funny thing anout people is that we only believe what we want to believe...or we only want to see what we think we see. For me, having people see what I want them to see isn't hard...because for some strange reason all I have to do is paste a smile on my face and anyone will believe I'm ok. But when someone truly sees you and doesn't just see the face you put on every day shouldn't that mean something? There are so many questions that I'm trying to find the answers to lately. And the basic one is what do I do when someone does see the real me...?

  1. I have a few things to say to this:

    1.) whoever that wise person was... really knows their stuff.

    2.) I guess as humans we enjoy watching people be happy, its just kind of wired into our brains to think like that.

    3.) I almost wrote a blog about that.... the whole mask deal. Only your real friends should be able to see past that smile you put on your face every day... which kind of answers your question, in a way. Your friends will love you no matter what, good day, bad day, sad or happy. They love you for you... if you open up to them and share your feelings, the world might seem just a little bit lighter.
