Perspective

We all see things differently. Some people can look at a work of art and think, "Wow, that's horrible!" and the next person comes walking by and thinks, "Wow, That's beautiful."

I can say, "Alaska is horrible!" And that doesn't make Alaska horrible for everyone.

I can say, "Damn... That Juice Kid's hott!"(which he is...) But.. it doesn't mean Ashleigh, Caitlin or Allyson will agree.

It's all from where you're seeing it from. Some people see through filters and shadows... other people see through what they see as an open mind. However you see it it always boils down to it being YOU that sees it.

I've been realizing lately that I see things differently from inside my own mind... Mostly appearances. I rarely look at someone and get the sense that they're taller than me. I know.. sure I know how tall they are but standing next to them or speaking to them and I see eye to eye. I also rarely see myself as a certain body image. In my mind I slip into the body image of the person I'm talking to to better understand them. I don't see myself as an image. Mirrors are strange for me... I don't see me necessarily. I see the representation of me that's there every day. I can see what I look like but I don't really connect with it. And I'm certain that nearly every day I look in the mirror I think I see something different than what you might think you see...

Perspective is so confusing...
