Here i am, still walking
Its amazing how lost we can get in our own stories, our own minds and the most interesting part of all is that we all have a different version of the exact same story. Our perception and view of our self is truly only our own- because every single person who knows us in different capacities has completely painted their own picture of us and we have no control over this beautiful or not so beautiful image that people hold of us. Imagine how many copies and versions of you exist all over the place.
I have been stuck on this for awhile. I often get caught up with the idea that I can help or have some sort of control over what people think of me and hoping to god that I am a good person and that people know that or see that. But I also know that there are some people that know me through maybe someone else's version of me and then thats where things get blurred. Art is all about interpretation right? Well say someone is explaining this picture they have of you to someone who has never had a chance to see you first hand and they are getting this single individuals perception and interpretation of how they see you. This could get real messy real fast. The result of this is the fact that we have zero control over this and I need to be at peace with this reality.
I think my main goal is to always have the right intentions fuelled by love, and to do my best with this in mind. I know I am a good person, I know that I have a heart full of love, I know I do my best, I know I would never purposefully hurt someone. These daily affirmations are essential when we become lost in someone else's translation of our self or our own ideas of how others may see us.
The general rule for me personally is, you do good- you get good.
Or perhaps you do your best, you get the best.
