I really dislike social masks although I’m pretty sure I too am guilty of accidentally hiding behind them sometimes. I’m not very good at wearing them though. This might be a good thing to be bad at, but I must admit it doesn’t always seem that way. I feel my masks just look funny, are transparent and distorted, or fall off completely (and are usually caffeinated which makes me seem ridiculously hyper). This might be why I probably dislike them more and feel less safe in them than do other people with better crafted ones… and is also likely why I try to avoid them more too, even if it means having a productive, fun evening or day at home.  But mostly, I think I just like people’s real faces better, including my own.

Thank God for family, at least a few good friends, tumblr, and the internet:)
