I understand the analogy of hats in writing, but different personalities for different people or settings seems ridiculous like some sort of mental disorder.
The hat of a stereotypical jock or cheer leader or nerd or anything, taken too far is a virus that consumes the rest of your head.
I saw people on hat day who resisted the silly hats, seemingly because they thought they were too cool for them.
They could only wear one hat. Or no hat.
I also see people who change so much between situations that I really do wonder if they have a disorder. I wonder if I should get help.
In classes they are silent, ghosts of themselves yet In knightings they are fireworks. They simply live with the crowd. They wear the hats that other people give them.
They seldom wear anything but.
It perturbs me.
The hats are only illusions. Real and psychological.
Illusions of what you portray yourself to be.
As Adam Zappala wisely once said,
"When I wear a hat for too long, I hate it, because when I take it off it feels like I'm still wearing it"
Take off the hat. And feel your hair.
Will you be bald? Your true self eaten by the hat? A starving soul?
Would you get treatment? or would you start wearing a wig?
