You Think You Know Me?

You think you know me?

"You think you know me..."

That's a thought that goes through my mind a lot. There are some condescending people out there who think they know you, and I'm not talking about, knowing your next move, your intentions, and fairly easy things you can work out if you've known someone a while, or if you really connect with someone; I'm talking about someone who appears to act as if they know you through and through.

It's impossible. I hardly know myself, in fact I don't. I'm in the process of finding myself and I admit, I'm a very unpredictable person and I surprise even myself at times (more often than not). So when someone who claims they know me, my past, my inner self, and predict what I'll do, it irritates me.

We all have dreams, hopes and goals, but whether we achieve them is another matter. We grow, we change, we improve; and our achievements, our goals and or future changes with it. 

Do you know about Blood Type Characteristics? Well, without disclosing my blood type, my characteristics don't exactly fall under what it is, and I'm said to be something else - same with horoscopes.

I have many facets of different personalities and even to this day I'm not entirely sure of myself and my limits with them. I guess that's what you end up having (multiple facets), if you've been through a lot in your past, and experienced a lot; it makes you grow up and toughens you up, to strengthen your weaknesses and improve your strengths, and being able to bear with the unbearable. Consequently it adds a facet to your original self; each experience, each learning curve, makes you evolve a bit more.

Am I on the inside as I am on the outside? No. Not because I have a facade, but because my appearance is only one part of me. I wouldn't be anything but myself, but to get to know me fully, it takes quite a lot.

And I would think it's the same with almost everyone.

So next time someone acts as if they know you... they must be ignorant to the real you. 

You can understand me, you can empathise with me but you'll never really know me through and through, because I don't know myself.

Unless... you're my soul mate....
