Sidetracks; The emotions flow.

Recently, I have come to realize certain things about myself and others around me. I for one, do not wish to talk about others as though I know them, because I dislike it when others are talking like they know alot, yet in between their claims is just empty talk. These are just my opinions, and I hope you can relate to them too...

People, we hate people who puts on masks, masks that hide their true character, masks that give them the look that they are friendly, kind, and generous. We hate them for that, but don't we all try to put on this mask? A person who's truly able to rid themselves of that mask, is a person truly worth respecting. This mask, we all need it. The people around you, needs you to wear it as well. Why? This mask, without it, the inner beasts, or the dark secrets of yourself you don't wish for people to see will be exposed. Had it not been for us trying to put on a mask all the time, there wouldn't be the kind people you see upon the streets, at work, at school... Look at it this way, had it not been for this mask that we try to put on for others to see, we would be treating them like dirt, now wouldn't we? Well, most of us are like that, but there are those special people who can display true kindness under all circumstances... These people are just people who have found their inner kindness. We are all born with compassion, but we don't show it till the last minute. When someone is hurt, we show it. When someone sheds a tear, we show it. When someone is fragile and needs support, we show it. These are the things that makes us human. I myself put on a mask. I look happy on the surface, but that's my nature, I like making people laugh, because I feel a sense of achievement when I can bring smiles upon people's faces. I for one, however, am not always the fun-loving guy my friends know me by and by... I have my secrets too. My own thoughts, my own feelings. Like at this moment, I want someone to talk to. I want someone that can share my thoughts, my innermost feelings, someone that will understand me. My parents? The age gap is too great there, but some thoughts are definitely worth sharing with your parents... But still, someone to chat to, someone true, someone worthy for me to share my secrets with... I need...a friend.
