Give a man a mask and he will show his true face.
I can't say much. I'm neither this reserved nor this eloquent offline either.
I am, however, exactly as snarky.
No matter how many masks you wear, the truth of oneself will always find a way to reveal itself, whether willingly or otherwise. However, that being said, I often find I'm able to express myself FAR better through the written word than the vocal word due to how fast my mind goes. It's easy to get lost in the creative mindset and be three steps ahead of your brain when it comes to speaking, therefore, I much prefer to express myself and who I am through the written word. In some sense I wear I mask, such as being the flirtatious persona, but on the other hand, when I'm online, I con convey who I truly am with more precision and grace than IRL. I'm sure there are many others who feel the same way.
I love connecting with you all and strengthening our bonds.
As do I, my friend. As do I. ^_^ The connections we share amongst each other, being more personable and open with one another, I love these interactions and having the opportunity to share the real me with all you fine people. It's why I feel such a strong bond between you all and why I love being here. You all uplift me, edify me, make me laugh, smile, and you all bring out the best in me. It's because of this that I am indebted to you all. I consider SO many of you my friends, people I would absolutely LOVE to associate with IRL. Although I may have my persona's, even on the internet, I try to be me as much as possible, or at least, a version of myself I wish I could be. Not the flirtatious persona as much but more so, the wordsmith who inspires others, who uplifts others and who brings out the best in others. One day, I hope many of us can be good friends outside of Smashboards and create unbreakable bonds that would make Chrom and company jealous.
That is my hope and my desire ultimately.
