Breaking a Facade

You're not what you say you are.

That's excusable; few people are consistent with their claims.

It bugs the crap out of me, though.

You're a great guy and you don't need to try to convince people that you're awesome. You already are.

You are clearly passionate. You have a rational mindset but are a romantic at heart: you dream about finding that mythical connection. You're considerate, once you forget about what other people might be thinking about you. (You should forget about that far more often.) You view life as an adventure.

There's more that I can't see, that I know is there, that I'm curious about.

Because you are afraid, that connection that you so desperately want is difficult to forge.

You are afraid that you aren't good enough. You are afraid that you aren't bad ass enough. You are afraid that you're not charming enough. You are afraid that you're not interesting enough. You are afraid of failure and rejection and success.

But you are good enough. Being bad ass is over-rated, and charm comes in multiple flavors. You're one of the most interesting people I know. And failure and rejection and success? All just symptoms of living: nothing personal.

So, no, you're not what you say you are.

You're better than that.
