Hello guys, it’s been a whole week and so many things have happened.

Recently I have been thinking about how I have a personal fear of being perceived. It’s not a pleasant feeling, especially when you feel like you are not being perceived the right way.

But then I think about the fact that there really isn’t any right way to be perceived. There is only the way that people see us and we cannot control what they see.

All we can do is be committed to ourselves and the person that we are. The identity we have formed, and hope that that’s enough.

That through these fragments, others can see glimpses of us.

Sometimes we can give them a little help. We can speak what we feel, or show it.

Of course, it’s not a guarantee that anyone will ever really understand why you do what you do, or why you are what you are. There are few moments in time where I was seen.

Through better or for worse. The moments where someone recognized the goodness in myself and the other times where someone could see the fragile parts of me.

We are not perfect beings, but we can always try to do better. We ache to be recognized but we don’t give others the tools to see us.

We’re closed off when we need to be open. It’s a lot of effort, but it’s worth it to be seen.

And even if others don’t grasp the whole of us. That’s okay. We know what we are.

We have seen the many phases, the many layers, and we can live with ourselves. Some people will never really know, and that is okay as well.

The ones who are mean’t to see, will.
