"We can beat them, just for one day." - David Bowie
In a world where privacy has become a thing of the past, what is there to hide? Part of the many reasons why I keep this blog open to all eyes is that I feel I have nothing to hide. It's a liberating feeling.
My entire life, Ive always tried to be the person who I've chosen to be, and not the type of wishy-washy person others have turned into. I feel as if, to be honest, I - along with everyone else - are at an unseen war with those in power.
I've always had this idea in my head that even though we may not see people watching us all the time, we're being watched in some way. All the time. I think that that feeling comes from both, the way my mom raised me to be observant of my environment, and of the way I learned to be from going to school here in New York City.... a place that famously never sleeps, so I've never fallen asleep myself, in some ways, where the wretched of this place can get their perfect opportunity to attack.
The wretched are always around, just not always up-close or in a way that you'd imagine them to be.
It may be a metaphor that I'm using, but the darkness is always prowling us, waiting to consume us when we're at our weakest. I've always had this idea that the evil in the world is like a disease we catch when we're open to it. We lose a loved one; someone cheats on us: we find a way to obtain ourselves some revenge.
Like an open wound that can be infected with gang-green if it isn't treated correctly, I believe that when our souls are hurt or peirced in any way, we're open to an evil that can make us do the worst things imaginable. And that's why I choose to keep and eye open at all times, that's the reason why I never let my guard down.
I remember the only time I ever did let my guard down, and that was when I got to know Mia. We all know how that turned out, and that experience taught me a lesson, well, two to be exact: Never let your guard down for anyone. Ever. And secondly, unless you know every aspect of someone's life, you can never truly know who they are at all.
It's that type of distrust in people why I feel as if everyone's got some hidden agenda - all the time. And judging by the company that I'm forced to keep, I'd say I'm pretty justified in my way of thinking.
I don't close my eyes on the world for one reason.... they're watching. Always.
