sometimes i don't realize it, but people put up masks. they hide behind them to protect themselves from who knows what. I just can't fully verbalize it. i realized this when i think of being around my friends and how they act differently when they're with different people and how i act differently when i'm with different people. i guess people are afraid to show who they are, or at least their whole selves. sometimes people want to cover their bad sides, their imperfections. i know i do that sometimes. it was just a random thought. sometimes people reveal things on lj that i've never knew they felt. i do that sometimes to--just blurt out a few words in hopes that someone will respond. i guess i do this because it's an impersonal way to get the message out. sometimes i think it's easier letting a stranger judge you than your friends. strangers don't have preconceptions of you as a person. i guess i'm just stating in words what we all know.
people are so complicated, but very simple sometimes. hmm it'd be cool if i were a psychologist or something, but i guess i hope too much. eh. if only my mother knew...
live your dreams,
but don't dream your life away.....
