#287: You Too Wear Masks

You scare me, you know?!
Because, all that I ever wanted was that you be the same person you say you are. And, now, I’m slowly discovering that you too wear masks. Everyone around me said that you must wear masks, even if you say you don’t. — Wait a minute! You yourself said that you wear masks differently. You just said it indirectly. How come I was so naive to think that you wouldn’t wear masks! I guess I wear them too.. Don’t we all?!

But here is where I got confused.. The mask you wear when you are with me is somehow different than that you wear with others.. You showed me sides of you that you’d rather not show to anyone. And I liked you for this! I knew you have other hidden sides as well, but I thought I could earn some more trust for you to unveil these sides by time. — About that, I myself haven’t yet unveiled much of my hidden sides to you. So, it’s fair enough. — I just thought your mask for me was special. But isn’t that how masks work? They are made to seem special, to trick us to look unmasked. That’s how we measure masks’ quality, by their abilities to look mask-less!
