I honesty didn't know where to put this, so I'm throwing it in here.
I want to thank the gentlemen who saw Anna and everyone else who had interest in her.
Anna is beautiful and fun, but was not the hot little tamale we both thought she could be and I won't be booking for her anymore. She tried, but it seems that she just wasn't able to move past her shyness.

Perception of self vs. the perception of others
It's interesting to me how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us.
Using Anna as an example, she described herself as fun & outgoing and open to new experiences.
I think that she truly
believed that, but when it came down to those new experiences, she shut down and wanted no part of them. She wasn't outgoing, she was rather shy and reserved. I don't think that her lie was intentional, she really thought she was outgoing.
I think everyone has ideas of what we
want to be and we let those ideas overshadow what we really are. Think about it. Do you portray the person you really are?
Each environment is different, we can't act at work the way we do with our friends, and that is fine, but are you true to yourself in each environment? Or do you portray who you want to be rather than who you are?
I am myself. I'm rather reserved in every situation. I rarely go to clubs and I'm not a wild, outspoken woman. I'd rather be at home with a glass of wine and a good movie or book.
People used to call me "old" when I was in high school because I wasn't a partier. It used to upset me and it took me and it took me long time to accept this as who I am. I found friends who are just like me and I am able to comfortably be myself. I am absolutely silly (I love ridiculous humor), I nurture, I cook, I bake, I love to feed people, and I am a total dork! And I am totally ok with all of that!
So, are you true to yourself? Do you portray who you really are? Do those whom you are closest to know the REAL you?
Let me hear your thoughts.
