Introductions Are Hard....... That's what she said

Imagine this for a second.
You walk into your local Coffee shop and prepare to order your super unique totally healthy latte.
You glance aimlessly around not really focusing on the old married couple bickering in the corner or the two teens Instagraming their matching muffins and teas.
Thats when you see her. The most beautiful creature your eyes have ever seen. She's in the back corner with a Latin book in hand. Her hair is golden and curls slightly at the ends and is tuck behind her ears. She licks a finger and gracefully flips the page. Her mouth curls up in a smile as something she reads delights her. One of her hands is cupped around a small mug filled with what look likes black coffee.
And you think, is this her? Is this the girl of my dreams? Is this the girl who wrote that fantastic blog?
My dear reader if this is what you're thinking then you are completely wrong.
Imagine the same  scenario but this time you look out the window and see a girl who looks like she hasn't slept in days, shoulders hunched with the weight of the world on her broad shoulders. Her frizzy hairs encircles her head like a natural halo. Her lack of makeup exposes her ruddy cheeks and showcase her sparse acne.
She walks looking slightly down and to your horror, walks straight into Starbucks. She's mainstream!
Now I don't think that's an 100% accurate description of me, but I can't help thinking that's what people see when they look at me. They don't see what is inside though. My insecurities might be obvious but my sarcasm and wit probably isn't, just like how you can see my low self esteem but not how much I love to watch reality TV.
That's the odd thing about first impressions. You can't tell what really really makes a person. And yet so many of us judge on appearances alone. How messed up!!
Well no matter what you see when you look at me I know exactly who I am and where I come from. Well actually I don't. I'm completely and totally unsure of anything. But that doesn't mean that I like being judged. After all, who would? Aren't we all just humans trying to make it through in a world where life seems to be taking everything out of you? With so much we have to deal with, why do we feel the need to judge one another? This is just one of the many topics i will muse on whilst writing this blog. You might not agree or even like what i say but that is lfe. And life sucks. Doesn't it?
