fall is my favorite time of year. halloween is my favorite holiday. the air is crisp, there is mischief in the air and for one night, you can become someone else without fear of judgement. what if you become someone else to find out that is who you truly wish to be all the time?
so many people hide behind a mask of who they truly are deep down. there are so many social and religious stigmatas. you would think that eventually, people could just be who they are without having to worry about what everyone else thinks. I honestly don't think we will ever get to that point.
yes, we have eased up as far as social bigotry toward color and sexual preference, but we aren't where we need to be. who should care if I want to love someone who is a different color or the same sex? if God doesn't like homosexuality, why does he make some of us that way? i have heard people say it's a disease, but i know first hand it isn't. it is the way some people are born. yes, with some it is a choice to be different. but for some it is how they are hard-wired. if God is a God of love, shouldn't we love everyone?
confusing.
i admire my son for taking off the mask, damning the stigmata, and being himself. i never had the courage to completely be me. i have always lived in the shadows of what everyone will think if i just let go completely. maybe one day i'll take off the mask.
