• People think I am aggressive
• People think I am not aggressive enough
• People think I am happier when other people do all the work
• People think I take on too much
• People think I am standoffish
• People think I care about too many others
• People think I am too mature for a relationship
• People think I am too sappy and lovey dovey
• People think I should take charge of my life
• People think I should relax and go with the flow.

What I have learned even though I knew it all before:

• I should ignore everyone else and be myself
• I should feel good about myself, regardless of other people's energy
• I should feel equal to everyone around me
• People have skewed perceptions...people will always have skewed perceptions
• The world is a messed up place that will never make sense unless I choose a framework to view it from, even if that framework is wrong, even if that framework does not have 360 degree vision
• I need a clearer view of what I want out of life, right now, regardless of any variables, future choices or catastrophies that come my way
• Life is what happens when you are busy making plans. And I have been making plans my whole life.
