"- Why do you wear this stupid bunny suit?
- Why are you wearing this stupid man suit?"
(Donnie Darko)
Have you ever felt so seen that in reality all you wanted was to disappear?
Have you ever felt so naked that you couldn't feel the clothes actually touching your skin?
When suddenly you just want to cease existing, at least for a little bit
Hide somewhere safe
Safe from people
Be yourself with not one worry in the world
Because the world simply can't stand when you are yourself. When you don't perfectly represent what you stand for, and I mean perfectly, because you do - you're just not allowed to BE as well. We are treated like things and end up feeling like we need to be things to fit into this mess, when in reality we're beings. Of different kinds. Different actions, different flaws; but also
Different wonders.
We have learned to hate before we love. Better phrasing, we are taught to hate before understanding. It has become a norm.
I was never one for norms.
And sometimes I do feel hated. Sometimes I do want to disappear. Because people don't ask, they assume; and for them that's reality, period. But they also hate when it is done to themselves.
Then, sometimes, when you're not feeling strong enough to not care,
you just have to escape.
Just for a little bit.
And get ready to be fearless again.
