I want to stop thinking “What would people think?”
I have been thinking a bit about image this week. More specifically my image about how others see me. Not so much, unfortunately, how I see my myself. Man, have you any idea how much energy it takes to do the recon on all the possible ways people might perceive you? And then try and…
