Dear reader in this blog you “see” me without my mask on, (in so much as I can ever take it off) the one I wear everyday with friends, family, and just random people I know. I truly believe that everyone wears one on some level(knowingly or not).

I try my best to show my true self as much as I can in my everyday however some people can only see me how they always have or in a way they can process me so my mask is always on in some form, here on this blog where my name and face aren’t known to you the reader or the fact that my friends and family don’t know about gives me the freedom to remove the mask even more(I truly doubt that anyone can ever take their mask all the way off) to let my true self show even more.

I have found a freedom in not showing my face on here, because I have come to see that even my face holds me back from showing my true self because when I was trying to upload a picture of me to my Nook to put here I started to feel that I had to uphold my idea of my reputation(as a matter of pride in myself/for myself) which limited in my eyes what I could write here, as soon as I took that pic away the freedom came back.

I hope that by having this blog and writing in it I can explore myself and let what I learn about my true self show through in my everyday life as well as here. That to me means that this blog and you dear reader will see the good, the bad, and the ugly that is me, that’s not to say that there will not be some self editing of what is written here because there has been and there will continue to be, however I will try to never lie to you dear reader…Unless of course I am lying to myself about something in which case I am sorry in advance.
