My own words keep haunting me…

Filed Under Babbling, The history of me 

When we were moving and packing up all of the boxes, I found something that I remember I used to have hanging on the wall near my computer. It was some caligraphy that an ex-girlfriend of mine made for me for a monthly anniversary. Sure, usually when you break up you throw everything away or box it away, but long after hers and my breakup, I kept it on my wall and subsequentially hung it on future walls. But Allison was an artist, and still is, and I have a lot of respect for her and her work.

Anyways, I kept it because it wasn’t just random caligraphy, it was a quote that I could be heard often saying, and I had forgotten it.

While I boxed it back up, the words I used to say stuck with me all over again…

“There are two kinds of people in this world -
Those who continue to search for themselves as they grow and change,
and those who give up and become the mask they wear…
…keep searching…“

I gave up for a while, I think. I know. And its time that I throw away that mask and start searching again…
