We’re less than a week away from Halloween! If you had to design a costume that channeled your true, innermost self, what would that costume look like? Would you dare to wear it?
The mask I would wear would be a complete invisible outfit. No one would know I was there, and yet you would recognize me by two things in my hands. You would see a pencil and notebook.
I always thought it would be fascinating to see how others act when there is no one to impress. What is the true soul like? When there is no one in sight where fear, jealousy, hatred, insecurities do not exist, how is the soul?
I would love to walk around the room. I would listen to words, watch body movement, look into the eyes, take in the shape of the mouth.
I think humans are fascinating, but I think it is sad that our surroundings can influence who and what we represent, instead of showing our true colors. After the party was over I would take my notebook home and build a story about what I observed. I know when all is done and said, the story would be awesome. I would find that with no fog, no curtains to hide behind, no shadows to follow, our world is awesome and a wonderful place to live.
The next phase of the project would be to take the invisible shield off and do a large study on people who will speak to me. The question?
What would it take for you to feel at ease and comfortable in your skin at all times?
Not fond of wearing costume.

Not all, due to religions some do not, plus the fact of sick adults tainting candy, the fun for kids is being ruined

Interesting thought… I think I would wear it, I never try to hide things…. and I stopped trying to impress people anyway! Much easier to be yourself!

Yes it is much easier, and yet so many people take the hard path of life for others

Terry, This is an interesting concept and would make for a great sociology experiment. Tom and I don’t celebrate Halloween. It’s an event we both elect to ignore.

I still enjoy it, but since Al passed, I no longer decorate. I don’t know how I will deal with Christmas. I suspect I will fake my way through it for my children

Christmas is a tough one. Tom goes into a depression each Dec around the 7th of the month and it makes the remainder of the month tough. I’ve learned to make some events of my own but it’s really hard. Hang in there.

Al slept through Christmas last year. I remember he was feeling so much pain, the medicines knocked him out to help him survive. A day or two after Christmas he opened his gifts, but there was no excitement. Sheri,,,,,,,,I knew his time was nearing at Christmas. I just thank God for giving me those extra three months with him
