I wonder

My mind is full of wonder.
Why things work the way they do?
Why people are the way they are?
Interactions of all kinds send me into a tizzy of thought.

Today, as I sat in my Sociology class and listened to my teacher (whom I love) speak about Erving Goffman and Impression Management I wondered. I was also in Book Club earlier this week and the book we were reviewing was called, Angry Housewives Eating Bon Bons, and it caused me to wonder. In this book there is a character named Faith that is consumed by her Impression Management issues. I stand today wondering about myself. I start to apologize to my soul for the Impression Management I put out there in order to not feel embarrassed or silly or worse, unloved and then it started to make me sick. I wondered how much of the world is all about Impression Management and I continued to wonder if it's all that bad. I mean, sure the world would be a much more loving place if we didn't always go about putting on masks. But is Impression Management always putting on masks or is it putting the best foot forward. And does it really go away when we feel entireally comfortable in our own skin and/or loved? I don't really know...I'm just learning. And loving it. And learning to love myself and others more and more everyday. Does this mean putting Impression Management to bed????
