To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to say.
I don't wear hats.
I don't like the way they make me look, the way they frame my face, the way they mess up my hair.
But I do have different personalities, and to me, that's the most prominent analogy for hats.
It was amazing, how different I felt, putting on baseball caps and beanies and everything in between, as if my personality and my appearance changed with each hat I put on and discarded. It reminded me of myself, of the personality I show when I'm at school, versus when I'm at home, versus when I'm at work or church or anywhere else.
Because in every single one of these places, I'm different. I act different, people perceive me differently, and I'm not sure if I like that or not.
But, yeah. Hats. It's a good analogy, Nelson, so. Thank you.
Even if it did mess my hair up.
I should be sleeping but I would rather read your blog. Absolutely amazing.
ReplyDeleteI'm scared of hats. And people. And lice.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't like hats.
And gues what else I don't like...
This is all me, but I was too scared to try on hats.
ReplyDeleteI felt super silly trying on the baseball caps too! I like your line, "But I do have different personalities, and to me, that's the most prominent analogy for hats." You put into words what we were suppose to get out of the whole experience which is awesome!!!
ReplyDelete"I'm not sure if I like that or not."
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way.
Am I a phony? Or am I just multidimensional?
I am not just one way all the time. I do have different personalities and behaviors. I like the perspective you put on that.
