Lately, I’ve had quite a few people tell me how their perceive me. It has been quite eye opening. Here are a few:<\/p>\n
Bad Ass, Commanding, Golden, Professional, Self Assured, Intimidating.<\/p>\n
Are you kidding me? That can’t be how I’m seen because that is certainly NOT how I see myself. I see myself as someone who just has to get out of bed and hope the depression will not dog me all day! I see myself as someone who wants to be great, but often feels it\u00a0will be impossible due to this illness. As you may know if you read my work- I’ve stopped feeling sorry for myself regarding bipolar disorder. It’s simply my life. All I can do is deal with it.\u00a0 But it’s always there!<\/p>\n
But Bad Ass! Really! On my Harley or something! Haha. It’s such a dual existence. I often go places and put my head in my journal and write my way though something stressful.\u00a0\u00a0 Others see that as intimidating! Hard to approach!\u00a0 Oh, if people only knew. The only way I would use the above words is if I were manic- and then I would describe myself that way! haha. Mania knows no bounds.<\/p>\n
Since my friends starting describing how the world sees me as compared to how I see myself, I am trying to blend the two.\u00a0 So, if you see me somewhere alone and furiously writing in my journal, please come up and say hi!<\/p>\n
I wonder what your friends would say if you asked them to describe how the world sees you?\u00a0<\/p>\n
