sometimes i keep wondering about who i really am to other people. do i really act like myself?
it seems to me that too often i become a mirror. i consider my actions based on the company i keep, i match their ideas, i mimic their vocabulary and scope. but it is definitely a skewed reflection eh? a bit of "me" should be filtering thru... rite?
but, it worries me that i don't have a solid ME to stand on it's own. i always seem to prefer leaning the outlook of others to be. it's probably that deep down... i'm not a very interesting person?(sorry, one of my pet worries, it weighs on my mind)
people are built based on their experiences, so i'm still a work in progress... i hope.
i wonder, i assume, i just don't bloody know.
but enough of this bleakness eh? life is good to me, in a way. at least it's a path, not a dead end.
and what the hell is a grisette?
this is an unabashed PLUG

All of us failed to match our dreams of perfection. So I rate us on the basis of our splendid failure to do the impossible.
