I Need To Hide the Real Me Like I Need a Punch In the Face: The ‘Fit photos

The ‘Fit: Monday. (NaBloPoMo day 2)

Can’t get off the “Punch in the Face” topic. Feels like there are a lot of things that can tie well into not needing something. Or needing something as badly as needing a sock to the eye…

Like feeling inferior. We never need to feel inferior to anything or anyone. AND YET…

I find myself feeling inferior to a lot of people, and most of all, to that ideal that I once held for myself and who I should be at this age (28 years almost complete).

Oufit Architecture: watch, belt, turtleneck, Target; pants, Moda Int’l (VS); Striped top, F21; Architectural Ring, Modcloth; shoe/booties, Anthro; scarf, vintage.

Taken in my bathroom (mind ye not the hanger in the background!) on my iPhone camera genius app with a timer. That app really is pure genius!

Cooked me some pasta after a 3.5 mi run at the gym.

Garlicky spinach whole wheat pasta with chick’n. YUM. If you want recipes, just email me (under CONTACT page)

Was asked by a Twitter friend and blogger compatriot if we ever felt like we were more comfortable in a mask in some form other other, than in our natural face. I answered yes. That my made up face is a type of mask which hides the inferior self and shows the world my more confident side. My “au naturale” appearance felt less “me” than anything else. If I venture forth into the world without being masked by what I feel makes me look most myself (make up), I hide behind my giant glasses.

And when in doubt, employ diversion tactics!

All of us hide something about ourselves that we don’t need to. Because hiding is tantamount to lying, denying others the immense delight of knowing our Truest Selves. We need to hide the real “us” like a punch to the face.
