Perceptions

Didn't we all at some point when we were kids love to philosophize on whether or not we see colors the same? Is what you see for the color green the same as what I see?

I always think about how I perceive myself. I’m sure I don’t see myself the same way you do. I always had confidence in many things, but I never really knew how I felt about the way that I looked. I would drive my sister crazy endlessly asking "do I look OK?", "does this look good?", or, of course, "do I look fat?" I couldn't tell. If I was having a good day I would look good or thin and vice versa.

Friday my boss instant messengered (IM) me and mentioned that he saw my doppelganger. He thought it was so funny because he seriously took a double take. He’s on a business trip across the country and they were having lunch at a fast food taco joint. The woman he saw was an employee there (like he really had to do a double take as though I might be moonlighting at a taco joint across the country, crazy boss).

I’ve been thinking about it ever since. I wish I could see what she looks like. I wonder how he sees me. I wonder if she was fat.

Here’s how the conversation ended.

Hopeful: She must have been HOT!
Boss: She was smokin’

Yeah, I figured
