i'm sorry that i haven't posted in a while. inspiration didn't hit me until now.
i hear stories. form one friend. and then the other. i hear one side. then the other. and i sometimes wonder. who is telling the truth?
i'm not trying to say anyone is lying or anything. i'm just saying that the way people perceive things are different. should i believe the story of friend no. 1? or friend no. 2?
why should i believe anyone of them? to have a bad impression of the other? in the end, you shouldn't trust anyone except yourself.
yes you tell them your secrets. the things that you went through. your ups and downs. but you don't tell them everything. you tell them what you want to tell them. you tell them what you want them to perceive. you don't tell them your whole story. you edit it to suit them. their personality.
the only person who knows the uncensored version of that book is you. you have the book with the sentences that have been crossed out. the notes that have been added. the paragraphs that have been repeated until it's perfect.
everyone else who reads you has a slightly different version of the book. and you should keep it that way. a powerful girl is one who holds her own book.
so keep the original to yourself.
