Issue
I've been trying to write something new for a while now, but I just can't do it. I can't find something that I can really touch on that's 'me', and what I've been trying to do is force it. However I must simply realize that I can't force it, because I always get halfway through and find myself thinking "This isn't what I want to write, this isn't what I should write, this isn't how I really think." Then I came to the conclusion that, what I really want to say now is that you can't force 'yourself', when you say or write something that is 'you', it doesn't require much thought, it just comes out. Now I've gone straight to the point and said what I needed to say, and was considering attempting to write more, but it wouldn't be what I want to say, so I need to end this here before I try to force myself to write more.
Diamonds
In my personal experience people are like diamonds. They have many facets, and not all of them shine, and like most every diamond at its center there are flaws. Life is like a laser, it shapes the diamond in different ways, it can hack away large portions, or slice away tiny slivers. They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder, two people can look at the same diamond and find it beautiful for many different reasons. In my personal opinion a diamond is most beautiful in its original state, untouched by unnatural shaping, and free of any bonds or coverings. The same goes for people, the worst thing that can happen to a person is to allow themselves to be shaped or held back by another person, or people. The thing I find most beautiful are the flaws, the most natural part of all things in existence, there is no living or nonliving thing that is perfect (feel free to argue that point), and flaws are one of the most unique things in any thing be it a human or a stone, yet they are constantly covered up like they are something to be ashamed of, something bad, something that lessens worth. Yet people hide their flaws, cover up what makes them different, for the sake of 'fitting in'. People shouldn't 'fit in', a human is not something to be pressed into a mold, or discarded because they can't.
Masks
When I say masks I don't mean an actual physical mask
, in my personal opinion everybody wears a metaphorical mask, meaning they don't show exactly who they really are. I think it's ok to wear a mask, then again I wear quite an elaborate mask myself. In my world I'd like everyone to give their own personal mask a shape, or defining features so to say, it doesn't need to be anything too complicated.
