Leaving for some time is such a romantic idea. Not that it's covered in roses and soft music under the moonlight. It's because it's a way escape, leave all that is pressuring, and pretend to forget about all that has quickly vanished due to the vast distance between you and those problems. It is romantic for that fact that it can only be obtained for limited periods of time and it is a beautiful but unrealistic time.

I leave for vacation. Spend my days wandering to new places where other just like me are doing the same. I was able to discover new and glorious adventures. I was able to be myself with the fact that no one there knew me. I had no obligations and escaped the clouds that normally cover my mind.

I get home. Slowly but surely those clouds are getting darker over my head. Makes you wonder if the escape was ever worth it doesn't it? I had my breathe of clear fresh air and I'm back to where I was pre-trip. I just hope I can hold my breathe a little longer and keep some of that good air with me. Is it strange to have the hope that it did me well and things will now change? I think so, but I'm holding onto that hope anyway.

The End.

i've made it a mission to have good times before my vacation. it's gone pretty well. i know once i come back, my fantasy summer will be gone and it will be covered in employment of some sort. i leave pretty soon and will be blogging no more til i get back (unless i use the timed blogger posts which sounds really cool.) ok. so here i go, from the intro to a story or something out of my mind.

a while ago i thought i this idea. one that's been on my mind for a while. it seems to me we hide true emotions very well. they can crawl to the back of our minds and be frozen in time until the next conveinent moment to let it out. we are actors all playing our roles in work, in classes, in hangouts, in nights out, in dates, and sometimes even when we are alone. there are so many parts to learn about ourselves that can take years to unravel and discover. true emotions can be so hidden the come out in artistic and true moments of our subconscious abilities.
what i'm getting with this is the fact that we only show what we choose to the world. we wear masks like Hexadecimal from the show Reboot but unlike hers, ours tend to hide our true face of emotions.
So i ask, if we all wore masks to show our true emotions, how many of us would be wearing a smile?
The End
