The Mask That Learned to Breathe
It wasn’t worn — it was waiting.
A sculptor in Florence made masks so lifelike they seemed to inhale. One day, a nobleman asked for a mask of his late wife. The sculptor worked for weeks, carving every detail, until one night, he heard a sigh.
The mask had opened its mouth. It whispered, “Where is he?”
Panicked, he locked it away, but the next morning, it was gone. The nobleman was found dead — his face missing.
Now, the mask travels from owner to owner, always reshaping itself. Some say it’s still searching for the sculptor who first gave it breath.

As we live the lives that we want to live with the hobbies that we want in them, what happens? Are all lives fantastic because of one certain thing or multiple different things? When we look at the lives that we live and the hobbies we do in them, do we find that our lives are fantastic? What is it that makes lives fantastic, is it the hobbies that we do in them to make them what they are? Yes I just made you think, but that is the point of this post. I would say that living life with the hobbies that we have in them can make the hobbies great and our lives fantastic when the two of them are used together. The more we live our lives with the hobbies we enjoy in the more the hobbies are great and we are living the lives that we want which make them fantastic.
