The Beatles – Eleanor Rigby Lyrics 9 years ago
@[ME68:2488] I really love your opening lines in this response, and it really caused me to think. The truthfulness of this is awe-inspiring, and it makes me think of how anyone could dress themselves up and put on a face ("wearing a face she keeps in a jar by the door"), but you never really KNOW anyone until you speak with them for a while and can get a sense of them. The face, the mask, that one can put on can hide someone's bold soul, and lonely people have a bad habit of putting on that mask.

Every day at school, I get this same feeling as you, as if there are so many souls that I have never gotten the chance to know or talk to. All I see as I walk down the hallway, my music blaring in my ears, are faces. Smiling faces, frowning faces, laughing faces, faces that are covered by someone else's, all of which I have never really seen. One of my goals in life is to be able to "see" as many people's faces as possible.

Thank you for making me think about this!
