Thoughts...and stuff

I was lent a movie to watch called La Mis.sion. This is a movie starring Be.njam.in Br.at.t and Er.ika Ale.xan.der. Be.njam.in Brat.t is playing an OG from California who is the father of an in the closet gay high schooler. She plays his neighbor. She is a new age sort of lady. It is implied through the movie that she was previously in an abusive relationship. She is still emotionally wounded from this. She and bratt go from neighbors who do not like each other to neighbors spending time together to lovers. She has a wall built up but she eventually lets him in.


When my coworker/friend that lent me this movie started telling me about it, he said that er.ika’s character reminds him of me. He did not go into too much detail about it, he just told me that I should see it.

I have often said that I wish I could see how people see me. I am just curious. I thought I was wearing my mask pretty well. Do I walk around looking wounded and hurt?

For the record…I think pain is decreasing and my wounds are healing.

Some wounds can't be hidden. It in the eyes. At least that's what I've been told because I thought my mask was securely in tact.
