Mask is not just something to wear during a
performance or to cover up one’s face. It can also be a sort of protection, a
layer of plastic one can show to the world. Most of us wear a mask to face
people to carry on with our daily lives but somehow few of us are not able to
strip off even when we are with someone close. This is because it has become so
natural for some of us to wear it every single second , just so no one can hurt
us. It is nothing wrong to wear a mask at all, I admit that I do wear one
because maybe I just trying to show the world how insensitive I am. I hate
being a sentimental person , I just don’t understand why one need to be
sentimental. I never really like to show my true emotions if possible because
maybe I just afraid to get hurt. It is a very terrifying and scary to just let
your emotions to be so easily vulnerable. Maybe I had past bad experiences in
dealing my emotions with my people which made me feel like shutting my own
feelings forever. Somehow I am a human,
no matter how much I control my feelings, it managed to slipped out but
only to a certain of people whom I think I should probably let them in. A lot
of us tend to forget that wearing a mask doesn’t mean one is not sincere or
genuine. We are still the same person . It is just the inner side of me is not
the same. The mask we are wearing takes time to strip off. Things don’t happen
in seconds . Sometimes I think some of us push our friends or somebody we care
too hard to take it off. I don’t get their actions. By doing so, it can never
bring good. Most of us want to know what is running inside of one’s person
heart rather than understand them and give them some time and space to settle
their own feelings. Knowing and understanding is two different things .
What are you going to do if you know how
I feel , are you going to tell someone else how screwed up I am deep down ?
Judge me ? Criticize me ? While to me, understand a person inner side means you
just have to let them to tell you what their problem is naturally , not push
nor force them and not necessarily to confront them with what they feel. Everybody actions under the mask mean something,
take some time to examine it. It is never easy knowing how one’s feel under the
deep layer of mask. We all just have to
wait and try to be as understandable we can instead of judging them. Mask is
being put in for a reason. One who look quiet can be their mask, one who is
happy and outgoing can also be their own way of covering up. Discover what is under that thick mask, one
need to have patience and gentle .
