Halloween is in the air. Ghosts and goblins and ghouls, OH MY! Haha, so i went to this party last night. Of course you werent allowed to wear masks. What is that all about? Its led me to think of bigger,better, and more significant things. Why ARENT we allowed to wear masks to parties, schools, work? Cause you could be some creeper lurking under phantom of the opera or batman? Maybe its about being something we're not. Which brings on a whole new series of questions. Then on facebook i just happened to discover a quiz, called which mask are you? My result turned out to be quite freakily the actual truth. Heres what it said...
"Your mask is purity. You are always trying to be true to yourself. You dont care what others think is right or wrong, you always use your own judgement to decide. You often ignore the millions of rules people are trying to place on the way you should live your life, because you know they are meaningless and that you are a good person. Your intentions are usually pure, whether its wanting to do something nice fro someone or just take some time for yourself. You understand that pure isnt perfect. You get angry, jealous, mean, sometimes stubborn, but you are who you are and your mask isnt trying to hide it. Its just helping you get by the life you love and enjoy."
In reality we all have on a mask. Are we trying to be something other than ourselves. I can truly say for myself, I am not. And its a relief too, because for the longest time, I tried lying to myself. I tried to impress everyone and be "cool" haha. Life was too hard back then. Live the life you want, its so much easier.

Anyway, theres some food for thought for you all.
Happy Halloween : )
