Costume Identity

Oh, Halloween!

What a time of the year. It's a time where everyone is able to dress up and be someone they're not. What does this do for us? It creates an image of confidence in someone we are for a day and then it disappears. Why is that confidence there for a short time? Or a lasting time in others? What is it about Halloween that allows us to become something else and feel good about that?

This week, I dressed up as a Ravenclaw from Harry Potter. I guess you could say it was pretty magical! Haha.

Something I've learned about Halloween and activities this week is that we are all able to help each other out and be the people each other needs. We are here for each other and no matter what our identity may be, we have something to give. Nobody looks the same whether we dress up similarly or not, but we have so much to offer.

This Halloween and the rest of this year, I want to work on being the person someone may need. I may feel like my identity isn't hidden but to someone else, I am a new person with a hidden identity and I have much to offer.

This Halloween, remember that. Your costume identity is not who you are but it is fun and allows for a good time. Remember that aside from your costume, you have much to give to those around you.

This helps us in every day lives as we are able to connect more with those around us and be a beacon of light to our peers.
