We humans tends to like approvals. We like to be accepted and die to get attention and be in the center of the spotlight. It's not that we love ourselves, but just the fact that we want to be on the top.
I fear watching people wearing masks everywhere. And to be accepted in the society, we start wearing masks even if we don't need them. So how will you feel when a beautiful face need to get masked with colours just to get accepted in the society? or when an ugly face tries to put so many masks that it don't even realize his own face anymore?
how would to feel to look in the mirror and stare at a masked person?
It was 0400 in the morning and I was awake browsing through my inbox checking out some old messages. I stopped when I found my crush posted a new picture of her. She was looking so beautiful. And FYI, she was my first and only love. so you can imagine how much attracted I was to her. I was not with her for reasons which I can never understand but still I never gave up. Crazy, stupid Love.
Then the next thing that popped in my mind is to make a collage of our pictures together to make a new wallpaper for my screen. I loved the idea so I started searching for a good photo of mine.
My face is clumpsy, rough, scary, and looks more aged than someone in their 60s'. I look kinda funny and i never let anyone take a picture of me for the simple reason, I'm introvert and not photogenic.
well it was something I hated about myself, but could do nothing about it.
luckily I found just one. a clumpsy, lowlight, stupid picture. but still i gave it a try. And you would not believe, It looked perfect beside her's.
That night I realized, that it's not about how you look like. how many scars you have, or how beautiful your eyes are. your face is no different from anyone else in this world. we all, more or less, looks similar. so we put masks of colours, of price tags, of brands. we make ourself a moving showroom, or a gallery of our achievements, or rather, what we have. Just to find out that it's not useful. At the end we realize that we look more scary with the masks.
I don't have to be picture-perfect.
So if I want your true love, I'll come naked.
And I still have that picture as my desktop wallpaper. And she loves it too.
