Lo

This is an original post from Lauren's blog from October 1st - however, she writes about this topic much better than I could ever write anything. So just read closely.

"reality is two-faced.

one can only trust a person from what they are willing to show. but, the things that are left unsaid and unseen speak volumes between friends, enemies, and aquaintainces alike.

i think we all try really hard to convince those around us of who we are, at least before they can decide without our influence. but most times we lose. because we all seek validation, we can easily see through the trappings of ambition and fear.

our best friends are perhaps those we share the most with, in whom we trust the greatest. but i think that within that trust, the ability to perceive a person becomes muddied and biased. in feelings of love and hate, we become blind to the actual person as we become embroiled in what that person means to us. maybe reality will always play second fiddle to perception, or maybe we can never really trust what we perceive."


she hit the nail on the head, didn't she?
