It's Halloween.
I have never really done much for Halloween, but I enjoy it. Mostly, because people get to dress in costumes and act like something else entirely for a day. Everyone acts out of character on purpose and really enjoys "being" someone they aren't...or at least, someone they think others believe they are not. I wonder about "acting a part" all of the time. What if, tomorrow, I decided to stop being a painter altogether. Maybe I could be a doctor, or a pilot, or a referee, or a hobo. I really think I could be equally satisfied doing any number of things besides painting pictures. But I'm so invested in this costume...
That was a little much. More than anything, I guess I just like the candy.
