A recent, heartbreaking conversation with my father has brought me to realize something.
We are who others perceive us.


If we are wary of the world and its people from our past experiences, we are seen as closed off and rude.
If we have ore friends of the opposite gender, we are flirty.
If we are smart and aiming to help, we are stuck up and a teacher's pet.
If we don't have many friends, we are weird and outcasts.


But these aren't true.
They are mere assumptions based on the superficials seeing's of our "superiors".


If we are wary of the world and its people from our past experiences, we are looking for more genuine people.
If we have ore friends of the opposite gender, we are just making friends with people we are comfortable around.
If we are smart and aiming to help, we are kind and supportive.
If we don't have many friends, we are seeing the truth behind the pretty lies.

We are not what others see us, we are who WE are and who WE want us to be.
