Random Thoughts.

The mask determines the side of you, that you are opening up to others. Everybody wears a mask in life. Except some may have multiple masks, each for a different occasion. In life, all of us has a role to play; be it the good, bad or the ugly. Everyone is an actor in his own right. Regardless of who you are, what your role is, how well are you performing, the show must go on.

There really is an art on how well you wear your masks. The mask that we wear is dependent on the role we play. The good son, the excellent student or even just the passer-by. There is so many roles in this theatre called Life. It is quite tiring actually. Sometimes, having a bad day in 1 of the role may manifest onto the next. This is where misunderstandings and conflicts come in.

The masks are also used for hiding our true feelings for others; seeking solace in life. Usually it is sadness and disappointment. So as not to affect the people close to us, we hide behind a false front. Smiling on the face, but tearing and bleeding in the heart. This feeling is terrible, but it is for the best. For the love of others, sometimes, we would rather bear the pain alone, than to draw others into our abyss.

Writing this, I am feeling lost actually. I do not know if the previous 3 paragraphs make any sense to you. I am just feeling tired about certain things in life. Things that I sometimes wished otherwise; different. Have you ever got so jaded of everything around you that you wished you can hit the restart button? Well...

Enough of senseless ranting. Tomorrow marks the 1st anniversary of the tsunami that devastated many parts of the Asian continent last year. It goes to show that the wrath of nature knows nothing about festive occasions such as Boxing Day. Life is so fragile.

Gosh, looking back as this post, that's a lot of sh*t I wrote. Well, they are just crap anyway.

Something to share before ending the night, "The walls we build around us to keep out the sadness also keep out the joy"
