There's something interesting about how we see other people.
We take what we've experienced, what we've learned, and what we understand, and use it to make sense of the people around us. We build a picture from the pieces we can see, sometimes forgetting that we're looking at only a fraction of the whole.
And sometimes, people become so convinced that their picture is accurate that they forget there's an actual person standing in front of them.
I've come to think there's a certain freedom in accepting that not everyone will understand you. Not everyone will see the whole picture, and not everyone needs to.
You don't have to spend your life trying to fit inside someone else's understanding of who you are.
