Can I relate to you the way you relate to me?It's remarkable to me how easily we as humans deal with near-constant paradox and dichotomy throughout every facet of life. We encourage people to deal with us in ways that are counter-productive and conflict-driven. Then we stress over the fact that we are misunderstood or ineffectual in our relationships.
Can you help me out with my chemistry?
I don't want to be precieved the way I am.
I just want to be percieved the way I am.

Sometimes I think the point of a friendship is to have those people in your life who will see past the image you actually present to the world and instead drink up the image you'd like to present to the world. All the while, encouraging you that the person you actually are is valid, coherent, and suitable.
