An Issuse of SELF !! ah yes this looks worthy of Self's time to answer too ..an Self may be the only one here who understands the Question ?

1: "We are only what we remember of ourselfs ...." even without repressed memories etc. and this gets deep . So yeah like good ol Tripple 6 said we could go on and on ...

2: I knew this very cool dude who had many claims to fame all within his ability yet he tended to mix the truth with the glory alot ..EXCEPT with the ppl he truly cared about or trusted ,Self got to see him out of his bubble because I DIDNT GIVE A SHIT ! I liked him for what I knew of him and not what he did when and where but his now's and what he did share with me of who and what he is / was ..Now it took him a few years to have this funky emotional breakdown and mass apollogy session with me about lieing to me and not being honest about this and that ... simular to your self most ppl didnt know him but what he wanted them to see him as and in all the time he spent with me he never had to bullshit me and I treated him the way he wished to be treated by everyone ( Basicly I could see the dude past all the Masks )and thats how I knew him ,where others never seemed to even bother to get to realiy know him and acted how they thought he wanted other ppl to act around him ,instead of being themselfs they would try to become what he was acting like which was a lie even if it made him popular etc...

So that asside When your ready Toss the SHELL ! however realise we all present ourselfs in many ways when we want too ..Oh and the BEST way not to get HURT is TO GET HURT ALOT !!! Life is full of pain and turmoil so get some and learn that just about no matter what life go's on !

Now Im not telling you to try and be 100% Honest ( you'll piss ppl off and they wont understand you at all ..I know I challenged myself to this for a year pissed alot of ppl off UNNECASARLY ( Sorry for extra slaughter of the language Self should be in bed right now ) finished the year at about 98% .

And remember there are things about each of us that NOBODY ELSE NEEDS TO KNOW !!! even if it is something that makes us who we are ..If it's something too painful or massively disturbing to others like you used to skin cats as a hobby or something ...but it has No bearing on who you currently are then FORGET IT ..it's not worth dragging into your future LIVE AND LEARN . You need time to find yourself once you've done that F#@% everyone elses oppinoins of what you are they will like you for the you they are around or the hell with them .and you'll be ok with this ..in fact things will be better all around with out all the mental baggage ..

I tend to surrprize ppl all the time Im a VERY HONEST,HAPPY PERSON ,who loves to help ppl and am always giving etc. however there are many ppl who would freak out if they knew certian things about me lol ..so I have a good Idea who can know WHAT I am on what level ..Im not worried about being hurt in fact im protecting them .

All this shit takes time and experiance im 34 now ,and remember that back in high school I used to have a fake alter ego named LORD-IVD LOL !! No reaily it was a whole different mind set so I could do some of the things I wouldnt normaly do ,I hang out or used to hang with a wide veriety of ppl who all have there different behaviours ..I dont take Risks but in IVD mode ( as long as it wasent life or death ,tho sometimes I guess it was I would let myself go for it ! ) Now I wasent being anything that wasent me, I just had a less reserved mindset that was more like me without the kiddy gloves .. like I was a Mgr. For a resort Hotel dressed nice all the time respectfull etc. but after hours who was out hanging with the Punks and street ppl . I could walk the Walk and talk the talk ..Now I wasent faking anything I just was choosing to be that part of myself and the ppl who I hung out with I would be honest with about shit and they were cool with it ..Because while some of that crowd was homeless,hopeless,self distructive,mad at the world ,thought themself's unloved ,broke,etc. Normaly they would have been pissed off that come daybreak I could return to my Perfect little world as Mr.respectful etc. while they had nothing but the shirt on their back and nobody gave a crap about them bla bla ..And I had all the stuff they thought they wanted or were missing out on ..I havent lived a normal life by most ppl's standards and I have a LOT of EXPERIANCE'S from shoplifting to eat to Living in Small Mansions,From being Raped to finding the Love of my life ,Ive spent time as a local Track star and had my years as a cripple ...Life is or can be a Rollercoster of UPs and DOWNs and everything changes learn who you are and then share yourself with the world or at least what the world can handle of you IT"S ALL GOOD IF YOU MAKE IT GOOD ! Id go on but I gotta go !!

P.S. Hope this helps ya !
