entry 25!

In the grand theater of life, we often find ourselves cast in different roles depending on who the audience is. To one person, you may be the embodiment of bravery, while to another, you might seem timid. You might be seen as a pillar of strength in someone's eyes and a delicate flower in someone else's. One person could view you as a beacon of goodness, while another might see you as deeply flawed. These contradictions aren't a reflection of your true self but rather the varied lenses through which people view you.

Imagine walking into a room full of mirrors, each one slightly distorted. Some mirrors make you appear tall and strong; others might exaggerate your imperfections. This is much like the way people perceive us—through their subjective lenses, shaped by their experiences, biases, and emotions.

You might be the source of comfort for one person, offering them solace in a stormy sea. Yet, to another, your presence might be unsettling, stirring up their inner turmoil. You could be seen as an irritant to someone who struggles with your energy, while to another, you might be the light that brightens their day. These varied perceptions can be confusing and even frustrating if we let them define us.

But here's the liberating truth - “The world is never going to agree on a single definition of WHO YOU ARE.” And that's okay. Every person's perception of you is colored by their own story, their own insecurities, hopes, and dreams. You cannot control how others see you, but you can control how you see yourself.

So, instead of bending and twisting to fit the ever-changing views of others, why not live in a way that feels true to you? Embrace your complexity and the fact that you are a multi-faceted being. You are brave and scared, strong and fragile, good and flawed—all at once. You are too much for some and just enough for others.

The world will continue to look at you from its subjective point of view, but your task is to stay grounded in your own truth. Define yourself by your own standards and values, not by the fleeting opinions of others. When you live authentically, you'll attract those who resonate with your true self, and their perceptions will reflect the beauty of who you really are.

In the end, remember that you are a mosaic of experiences, emotions, and traits. No one person’s perception can capture the entirety of who you are. So, step out of the distorted mirror maze and stand tall in your own light. The world will see what it wants, but only you can define who you truly are. right?? so just Peace✌🏻
