Honesty is a difficult thing because it goes hand in hand with vulnerability. Who wants to be defenseless and what happens if you’re attacked? Honesty is nakedness. It involves shedding your outer shell and exposing the tender flesh beneath it. It’s taking off the facade and stepping out of the cocoon. Revealing your true self is incredibly difficult because you’re not sure if anyone will like it. You are on show and people are picky. Who has the patience to look again, to look longer, come closer? First impression is everything. Be in your box looking shiny and new. Hide all flaws and imperfections from the manufacturer or that could have occurred during transportation. Most who want the unusual want it because it’s unusual. They want to display it on their walls so you can see the unusualness and congratulate them for having such an artistic eye. But I am not an item to be collected or am I? Are we all maybe collectors and collector’s items?
