Perception

Perception is everything
Whether we agree with it or not, it is. How you portray yourself is the way people will perceive you and the way you treat yourself is how people will treat you. If you never show people you have a brain, they’ll always treat you as if you’ve lost your mind. However, their opinion of you is never the final auth...ority, your self-worth can’t be validated by others, you are worthy because you say you are. Fools seek approval in things that have no authority but the wise understand every person passing judgement isn’t a judge. You will never be able to control everything spoken about you but you are responsible for the things you give people to speak on. Yes your character defines you but your reputation precedes you and if you don’t care enough to protect it, in one way or another you’ll always be neglected. Secure people are comfortable being hated for who they are; the insecure seek love trying to be something they’re not. And at this point in life if the social you is only doing things in hopes to fit in, the real you will always end up being left out.
