self-impression


Photographs are funny. you never see yourself. everyone else gets to look at you, but you don't. all we can strive for are facsimiles. the mirror is how most of us see ourselves, so we have a completely distorted view of what we look like. I suppose voice is similar. People tend to not like pictures of themselves nor the sound of their recorded voice. It's almost like that dream of being on stage and knowing you're supposed to play a part in a play or sing a song or do a dance and yet you have absolutely no idea what's going on. Most of us live with our faces and voices we have, yet when we see/hear an approximation of what others see/hear, it sounds foreign and looks different to us. we're surprised by something we're living every day of our lives.
