Journal #25: Mask

Wearing a mask to hide your emotions is a thing that all people do at one time or another. I don't know why we do it, but it is a foolish thing. It keeps others who care about our well being from knowing what is going on inside our head and if something is wrong. They won't be able to tell and only want to help us in the first place anyway. I wear a mask when I am angry so I don't ruin or other peoples days and sour their moods up by being rude to them. That is one situation in which wearing a mask is a pretty good thing, but otherwise you really shouldn't and it will only end badly for you. Talking about your feelings, while sounding really sappy, helps quite a bit. It helps you get things off your chests and reveals any problems you might have with somebody and from there you can figure out possible remedies for what ails your relationship. At the same time it can be bad because you might offend certain people by telling them something because other's don't handle information well. The worst situation to wear a mask in is when you are depressed because withdrawing from people and pretending you are find will only lead to your demise faster. These are my opinions on wearing a mask and stuff. I still have about 100 words left....well ok then. While sounding pretty sappy you really should try and talk to somebody when you're feeling depressed. Depression can lead to a bunch of bad junk and in the end you will only hurt yourself and those who care about you the most, and it's a very selfish move. You need to find whoever will listen to your and explain your problems. Everything will usually turn out better, you'll get help and move on with your life happier and learning how to deal with sadness and bad situations much better.
