RE: The masks we wear

Nothing like getting some comment-mustard...Now just need a sausage to go with it! Lol.

Thanks for this nice, personal, comment. I agree with you in that it can be difficult to open up but I feel there is value in doing so. It doesn't have to go too far, oversharing isn't a good look, but adding some personal touches to comments and posts can work wonders where relationship-building is concerned. Relationships are important here.

So many on social media present themselves as having amazingly positive lives, but we all know that's not always the case. Life is hard, gritty and sometimes devastating...I think it's nice to have a few out there who understand that, who know us a little better than superficially, and are open to our faults and flaws. We all have them and so admitting to it, showing a vulnerable side of a less-perfect image of ourselves, isn't a negative. Sure, it holds us out there for ridicule I guess, but also for the opposite, support from friends.

I'm glad you've come along to the #weekend-engagement topic and that you're feeling ok about opening up a little more...Just have some fun and build relationships...Like you said...thoughtful interactions is what will work best. :)
