Is it just me or does everything feel a little forced lately

.. as if the person writing it is thinking..
What will this post say about me?
What will this perspective say...?

How will people think of me after this sentence..
this post..
this update..
this picture..
       ?

Will I seem cooler to them..
lame
immature
funny
brilliant
beautiful
smart..
smart-er(?)

How do I project the image I would like reflected back onto me
This reflection only I am seeing

To brand myself before I am Branded
