Man in the Mirror

I ask my tummy the same question every time I'm constipated.

There are all sorts of mirrors in the world. There are some that can make you skinnier, wider, taller, shorter, and yes even more distorted. Then there are 'reality' mirrors that show you exactly how you look like to others. Some say that the camera adds 10 pounds. One's reality of how they perceive themselves are thus, distorted, because how you look is all relative based on the object that reflects you.

Your interpretation of yourself is thus skewed. It is very much the same case with people's personality. People tend to act differently with different groups of friends or perhaps even on an individual basis in public. Their social personalities (What I like to call their 'Show' personality) that they show the world is different from who they really are. Everyone has a story, and if you take the time to dig a little deeper, you can unravel the layers of their 'show' personality and find the true person in them. There are many 'sad clowns' out there in the world waiting to be heard.

Inevitably, this makes me wonder which version I present to the real world is the actual me. Behind the laughter, I'd like to believe their is some substance.

A fitting song to leave you with.
