I was thinking...
As the theme of the last youthful worship said...we all wear masks...
and its true...
we all show the world the face we think they'll like more...or the face we think fits in the most...
or more commonly we put on a smiling face when we just want to frown, or cry...
as i was thinking about this...i realised how the metaphor "wearing a mask" actually fits perfectly...
When wearing a mask...if someone comes really close...usually through the eyes, one can see who the person really is...
so in life...the people really close to us...can usually tell who we are, again usually through our eyes (the eyes are the windows of the soul)
Although...i think the problem gets bigger when the people who should be close enough to realise we are not being our self...don't...
due to a lack of time, consideration or anything else...
either way....
...
...
dunno if i actually wrote anything substantial to be honest...
but it hit me as something important...
...i gotta go now...
...lunch...
...and gotta change my mask first...

it makes sense you know, and it's very true...we can hide behind our masks but the eyes give away what we really feel...
nice post...not particularly coherent but makes a lot of sense all the same:)
makes loads of sense Sim. its something i think about a lot to be honest. and its so true how the ppl who r closest to me can read through my mask, and i almost expect them to read through because i know they know me well enough. but then when a close friend stops at the mask, its like a cold shower. lol, i dont know if i made sense either but in my head i do!
also.. sorry for a second comment.. but it reminded me of the song "Stained Glass Masquerade" of Casting Crowns. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grRnCSAzwuQ
