Last night, after a quirky conversation online with a guy, I invited him to come over to watch movies and smoke weed.
We watched two horror movies while getting stoned. I’m not a fan of horror movies because it frightens me to the core and I consider beforehand the sleepless night filled with creaks awaiting.
Fortunately, we had marijuana. And I laughed at some scenes.
After the movies, we chatted. I came up with the idea to answer the “36 questions which make you fall in love”. So we went through these intimate and personal questions. I’ve never been so open and vulnerable with another person.
We didn’t fall in love. But we had an experience that will stay with us both.
And I thought about how harder it would be to answer those questions with someone you know instead of a stranger. We wear masks with even the people close to us – and honestly answering some of those questions would be wiping away parts of the mask. And I think with most of these people, we are comfortable wearing these masks and wouldn’t want to lose that comfort.
I wish I could take off my mask for everyone – especially those closest to me.
