From the time that we are small children well into adulthood people think they have us all figured out.  Some individuals can tell you exactly who you are based on their perception of you.  They may not have any facts but they know what they are talking about, this is especially true when you add in social media.  It’s also challenging for family and friends to see us outside of their boxes.  We’ve all seen or experienced family and friends claiming that they were totally surprised when an individual engaged in a certain type of behavior.  We’ve heard the stories of the husbands and wives who claim that they lived in houses with strangers for years when in actuality they never got to know a person.   Some of us might have experienced others tell us who we are only to respond “no that’s not me it’s who you made me to be.” When we have been given personas that we don’t agree with we need to take the brush out of the persons hand and begin to paint ourselves so that they can get an accurate portrait of who we really are.  That’s our 2 cents for the day.
