:(: you decide

I don’t know how many of you have this issue but I for the love of God can never know how to respond to compliments. God’s truth !! I literally get awkward and just simply say a polite thank you and try to change the topic of the conversation :P

This is also a public apology to all my friends, well-wishers, and to be friends if you guys ever read this now you know why I reacted in the way I did, or now you know how would I react in case you ever decide to compliment me.

4 of my friends who know me in varying degrees have told me 4 different versions of me which I was completely unaware of and that has led to this write-up.

Now I am not going to give you the satisfaction of knowing what they told me, and I am not here to rant about it and figure out what they said was true or not, it just got me thinking about the different perspectives people understand us.

Now, I do personally think that knowing a person is different from understanding a person and when you come to think about this it may be the case that two people do not understand the same person in the same way.

Imagine the number of personalities people who know me or my friends think I might have! Damn! The thought itself makes me laugh! If only I had the pleasure of knowing how my friends and family see me, it would have been epic, well let's not push it.

I would love to believe that I do have a few personalities that stay with me and can be brought out if they are needed! And one of the major mood being

“ Don’t you dare mess with me or mine” those who know me know this , or I want to believe so and if they don’t well I hope now they know.

Now, this definitely feels like a rant but trust me it is not. This is for my readers and all I want to tell you is please make sure that you use your words, emotions, and energy for the people who care and value it.

CHOOSE YOUR BATTLES WISELY. ( Shamelessly browned, please do not ask me from where I have no idea, but it sounded good and true so yeah.)

Thank you, for taking out the time and being patient through the writing and I hope it makes some sense to you.

In the hope that I could make you smile even for a second or made you think about someone when you read this.

Before you hunt me down and kill me I will take leave!

Bye fellas!
