Nothing liberates the mind like a good disguise, just ask Batman.
With face wear, we’re free from the limitation of our identities and even better, we’re free from consequences.
So you see a lot of people making internet personas, or playing characters– roles they created to help get over their fears and reach success.
Sasha Fierce pre-Beyonce, etc.
It’s a good start– after all mines no different. I’m writing disguised right now. You don’t know me, can’t see me, couldn’t recognize me at a store shopping for blueberries.
It’s the easiest way to get to know yourself.
See, I’m one of those people that think Bruce Wayne is the disguise– not Batman. He’s who he really is, when he’s FREE of himself.
Without the expectation of others, we’re left with our own self.
In that sense, the characters we create– the roles we play, are more of who we are than us just existing.
The lie you choose to believe says way more about you than the truths you deny. The lie is something you made– and make no mistake, there is such a thing as a good lie.
That’s what “fake it til you make it” means.
I don’t believe in delusion, but make-believe is different.
I think it’s impossible to choose a character or to invest something without your individuality manifested into it.
The most human thing we could ever do is play— and since we’re all a little worried about being judged, why not use a mask to bring yourself on stage.
Who knows what could happen?
