The funny thing about your image is that it isn’t yours.
You meet someone over brief moments and the way you look, the way you dress, and the way you act creates an image in that person which then escapes beyond your control. You then become branded someone nice or smart or funny or intense or some other reductive adjective which they use to describe you.
Sometimes your image has nothing to do with you, it just depends on the other person’s mood.
Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but what the hell is going on behind that eye?
Very, very well put.
