"I'm an open book
Oh darling, don't you know I mean it?"
These lyrics floated into my ears as I listened to Elizabeth and the Catapult's song, aptly titled, "Open Book". My first thought was "I'm not an open book" but then I thought, I like the idea that someday I might be with someone.
When I was younger, I thought I was a very good guard of my emotions. About four or five years ago, I realized how easy it is to "read" me. Even though the idea of being a 'closed book' is alluring to me (for whatever reason), I am completely content (or at least indifferent) to being open about my emotions. The only problem is that it makes lying a challenge (at times).
ReplyDeleteI think the better someone knows you, the easier it is to quote unquote read them. True, some people are better at keeping a poker face than others :P
ReplyDeleteStill, regardless of how well you can mask your emotions, I think that there is something beautiful in purposefully being open with a special person in your life: no secrets, no attempts to hide feelings, but choosing to be an "open book" with them in the sense of allowing yourself to be vulnerable in front of them. That's what I thought of with this song.
Can't read my poker face.
