The Q is : (Do you have and if so) what is your perception of me since following / knowing me ? 

The Notes : 
We as an individual often talk about being misunderstood, but what if another persons perception is actually more accurate than we give it credit for or are willing to admit ? People notice things—our energy, our intentions, the way we move through the world. Often, those first impressions contain a surprising amount of truth if only we knew what they were could be ensure we are being authentic to who we WANT to be if not who we currently are ? 

Where it gets interesting is that perception isn’t the end of the story; it’s the beginning of a conversation. Each person sees us through the lens of their own experiences, and in that exchange there’s an opportunity to learn something—not just about each other, but about ourselves.

Maybe the goal isn’t to control how we’re perceived. I certainly won’t attempt to change your mind as it currently stands because your opinion is based on what I’ve shown you when you have engaged with me. Maybe the goal and intention is to stay curious about what others see, while remaining open to sharing the parts with people we choose that can’t be understood at first glance or arnt given freely to those outside of our circle. 

Being seen and being known are different things, but both have value.

So I’ll ask you again … what is your perception of me ?
