You know I could line ten people up in front of me. And if each of them could become a human polaroid camera and produce a picture of who they see and what I look like... well I would be looking at ten completely different pictures of ten different people. And all ten would be different from how I think I actually look. So which vision is real?
The answer is none of them are real... and all of them are real. Everyone's version of reality is colored by their own thoughts, feelings, insecurities, confidences... basically everyone is a custom made polaroid camera. No two lenses are the same.
So I may feel like a wallflower. I may feel like a geek and an introvert. But someone else sees a bold, funny, confidant girl. Someone else sees me as sexy. So who is right? Everyone is right. All of that exists in me. I am all of those things. And one of the beautiful things about getting older is you begin to meld together what you think you are with what others see... you can embrace all the parts of you and start to believe the good stuff. :)
