I saw this and was like OMG this is perfect to describing how at least I think people see me.  I know that I am really quiet at first and just take time to sit back, look around, and get to know someone.  But once I start to let my guard and walls down a bit and we start to become friends and share things people find that I am really cool, fun, outgoing.  I have a big heart.  But it is just the handful of people that I have let really close and call my "best friends" that know more about me.  They know that I can get wild, have lots of fun, and that there is just so much more to me than I ever let anyone know.

I know that we all do this and it is a natural human protection of our selves.  But at times it is hard and sucks when we sit back looking at our own lives wondering what people think of us.  We we can't honestly answer that because look everyone knows different parts and different things.

Just know you are loved!
