I realized something today. The first impression people have of me is nothing like what I truly am. I started to realize that my only true friends are people I have never even met. People who meet me through words verses physical interaction.
Just because I am white and blonde people assume I am either stupid or a bitch or both. Which I do not think I am at all. This is how men see me, this is how women see me. It is not until someone makes an effort to interact with me that they actually see that I am so much more than that. And they are always surprised!..It reminds me of when I lived in Japan and anytime I used chopsticks my Japanese friends were so surprised that I was able to do it...like it was a big feat for me...I mean I lived there for 5 years!
I care about people and I have interests that stretch far beyond my physical looks...I am not complaining in any way. I just realize why I can sometimes obsess about my looks...it is all anyone expects of me.
