“it’s amazing how you really don’t know people until after a while.”
It’s true. Most people can’t show all of themselves when they first meet people. The side that is shown is usually the side that they most like to be. Angry, bitter, pessimistic? Sometimes the sweetest, nicest person inside [like my friend Kim]. Happy and carefree people? They usually have something to hide. People who are really good at things that seem brainless are usually smarter than you think and smarter than they let on. The kids who wear pocket protectors? Not always the smartest.
What is the me that I want to be? I do it subconsciously. Sometimes I even believe that I’m the me that I want to be. Once in a while, though, there’s that cruel reminder… that ‘click!’ that makes me realize I’m not the person I pretend to be at all.
But maybe, that’s just in that moment. Until then, I’ll just keep playing the angsty bisexual online chick and leave it at that. =]
