The Silly Side

You'd be surprised, as you're getting to know someone, just how "silly" they could be!

That is not meant to be a derogatory statement at all. I understand that in logical dictionary terms the word, "silly" is deemed as having a lack of common sense...however; I'm using this word as a term of endearment seen only by close individuals to a person whereby you wouldn't normally see these characteristics. This is not "them" in a professional setting. This is not "them" even in a large group of friends or associates. Sometimes, it's not even them with extended or close family. 

This "silly" side is meant: at a certain point in a relationship with another person you begin to see a side of them that not everybody sees! It's exclusive! VIP's permitted only! It's not meant for everyone! It's an intimate moment when guards are down, masks are removed, the armor is off, there are no aires, the unveiling....the REAL DEAL HOLLIFIELD.

 

It's beautiful (if you're sentimental, anyway) because it's an extremely vulnerable place when you are your naked self! You become wide open for judgement, but again, not everyone sees it....so it makes it that much more special! Letting go and being YOU, with your imperfect self is...fabulous! Sharing that with someone feels...magical! (again...if you're sentimental)

If someone has shared their "silly" side with you, be honored. It's not planned. So many times we, just in human nature, are striving to be who we imagine ourselves being, rather than just being who we truly are without fictionalizing a character. Make sense? Fake it 'till you make it! Meaning...when meeting and maintaining relationships nine times out of ten someone isn't always their authentic selves. 

Why would you be?! They may not like the "real" you! It may be too much to take in! You may be offensive! They may not take you seriously! You might be rejected! 

So, in order to deny any rejection or even give-way to the clue we're not all we say at this moment, however, we're working on it; we put up facades. We "look" and "act" the part. Not fully understanding that in our vulnerable, and most imperfect moments there's a beauty that's incomparable! 

It's that "silly" moment when a person feels comfortable enough around you to be comfortable in their own skin. The moments you are a REAL person with quirky traits, habits, and idioms! Sharing your "silly" side, should indeed be limited editions. It's not for everybody...

That's not you? Oh. You still don't get what I'm saying?! You're your "naked" self at all times? Oh. What you see is what you get? Oh, okay. My bad then! Carry on. Lol
