I'm the type of person that avoids talking to new people because I want to do what's in their best interest, and if it seems like I may bother them, I try my best to steer clear. It isn't that I personally find myself unpleasant, because I really don't. I find myself to try put others' thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and ideas before mine...even before I've met them. On the outside, because I try to take in everything and everyone, I come across as rather awkward upon first impression.
I feel like this is somehow the curse of being an introvert. As an introvert, I'm always contemplating...and that crosses over into social ventures as well. So, yeah, I'm sitting silently, and I look lonely in doing so, but I'm more than aware of everything that's going on around me. (And thus, I'm a tad socially awkward.)
It almost feels as if I'm wearing a mask, and the mask comes off when I'm with somebody I love, or when I think of something funny, or when I'm driving alone and I find myself singing at the top of my lungs along with the radio. Honestly, I can't survive without this mask. It allows me to survive, it's a part of who I am.
I'm quite sure we all have our own mask that we wear at different times around different people. I don't think the mask that we all wear is an awful sort of mask, I think it's more of a mask that's always been there, since we were born. There are, of course, awful masks as well.
I do not wear my mask to hide. I wear my mask because that's who I am.
Sometimes, I really wonder whether I'm making any sense...it's so difficult to write my thoughts most days...Also, this might be a product of my recent Phantom of the Opera obsession...I don' even know. Just smile and wave, and pretend I made sense...or don't. Okay, I'm silencing myself now.
(I feel like that last paragraph is proof I'm awkward.)

Incase You Were Wondering...
Hey there, lovely people of the internet! I'd like to start by saying that I caught a variety of different viruses for the better part of this month, so I haven't been able to blog really at all (obviously). I was about to do my favorites for February, and, alas, I got sick...and then I thought I was all better...but I became sick again...and I was all better (Or I so naively thought)...only to find myself sick, yet AGAIN. So, yea, that happened.
Please, I ask you not to worry, as I believe I have seen the last of that nasty evilness.
So, here I am blogging because I feel the need to. I would really feel silly if I didn't manage to blog at least once this month....I mean, that would kind of break my little blogger heart...just a bit.
For February favorites, you really didn't miss much. I got these amazing fuzzy socks, and a new pair of Converse shoes (still not high-tops, sadly), and that's pretty much it.
My march favorites aren't much better...I think I watched one movie I really liked(How to Steal a Million), but I was too sick to even watch Netflix, so, alas, my favorites for this month probably will not exist either. I hope to pick up my favorites series for the month of April...at least, that's the idea.
I have an idea for a post in mind, and I'll try to get that up and written as soon as humanly possible. I am rather busy this next week, but I promise to try my best, haha!
I hope you had a much better month of March than I did!
On a completely unrelated note, I should start reading Little Women every March...You know, because their last name is March. Okay, so perhaps not every March, but maybe every other March or something. I JUST FEEL LIKE I'M MISSING A REALLY IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY, OKAY?
