Description
My mask is blue with big flowers; it brightens my attitude compared to the white paper versions.
When I first put on a mask, I felt stifled and frustrated because no one could see whether I was smiling at them or not. We were all in the same boat, and it's hard to gauge emotions with faces half covered. Later I got used to my mask, but it still seemed to be a barrier to long and meaningful conversations. Since I am a communicator by profession, a mask was an obstacle to my usual loquacious style. Perhaps that's been a gift; my mask has kept me quiet.
