Do you want to know me? Know my lies, my dirty little secrets, my generic truths? Perception is the only reality and even if I disclose
those lovely bits, you will only invent a version of me based on the things you have chosen to see. Look beyond the obvious and maybe,
just maybe, you will find the true answers.
Good luck, I am still looking.
