Suits and Masks

Yo, sorry if this turns into a bit of a rant. haha. You've been warned.

So, I've been wearing dress shirts a lot lately. I don't especially have a problem with this if it's just an untucked dress shirt and jeans. I actually really like the semi-casual look with like a nice dress shirt not tucked in, nice pants and converse sneakers. But what I do have a problem with is like the whole suit and dress, semi-formal idea.The whole thing to me is just so fake.

One of my friends was joking that every time our other friend is wearing a suit he is looking for a woman.

Big problem: when people are wearing a dress and makeup or a suit they are putting on a show, sowing off the best side of themselves. If you get to know only the best of someone and never see the other parts you are going to be so far off when you actually get to a relationship.

You need to get to know the person for who they are, all their strengths and flaws. Not so you can accept all the flaws the way they are forever, but more like have an understanding of where they are weak so you can help each other grow.

But when people put on the suits, when people put on the makeup, when people put up this image of who they are pretending to be, I just can't stand it.

And the whole making connections for the sake of using people...

How in politics when something slips through the cracks of your perfect suit and mask and people hold it against your image for the next few months or years...

Grace.

We aren't perfect. We have problems. We have issues.

Covering them up doesn't help a thing. It's like you killed someone and you bury them. They are still going to be there, but now they are rotting. You can bury it really deep, but it's still there. Justice will come to pass.

Gotta be upfront and just confess and ask for forgiveness and help to change.

*sigh*

Being real is really hard though.
