There is a disparity between self and how others percieve that self. Sounds simple, maybe even cliche, but something clicked in me recently, and I hadn't realized how much other's perceptions were effecting my thought pattern, behavior, or even self worth. I have something planned for myself that is better than what they'd believe. I can control my own reality, despite the gravity of the immediate influences in my life.

You ever feel like someone's ripped your soul out of your body and replaced it with something wretched, irritable and dull? Yeah I have not been myself the past week. Even I don't like me lately. Is it because of my flu, changing brain chemicals, the planets aligning unfavorably? I have no idea. But wisdom would say that this too shall pass.
