Sometimes the eyes say what a million words can’t explain; it’s
through the eyes our true selves can show, telling our deepest thoughts and
feelings…
We spend our whole lives trying to hide what our eyes want
to tell; our fears, our love, our weaknesses, and even our joy; because we tend
to believe that our feelings are somehow wrong, or unacceptable…
But there are these few moments of pure innocence, moments
when we can’t hide it anymore. The moment when your eyes smile when you’re
really happy to see someone ... and the
moment they tear up when they see something that touches your soul.
The moment when you’re very happy that you lose words, but you
cannot hide it in your eyes… The moment
when you look at the one you love with your eyes full of kindness and mercy…
The moment when you watch something very beautiful, that it makes your heart
smile… The moment when a young kid finds
something new to explore and play with… The moment when your eyes show that you’re
afraid, breaking the pretend mask of calmness you’ve been wearing; or show the
grief beyond your fake smile…
Moments; moments can show us that the cruelest person can
have mercy, that the strongest person can have weaknesses, and that the coldest
person can have love… These moments make us humans, they make us real, they
make us vulnerable, and that’s why we fight them… Because we tend to believe that
being humans is a shame :)
These moments are my favorite to capture… I see them all the
time, sometimes even on myself… and I just wonder; what if we stop wearing
masks and let our eyes show who we really are? :)
