An Eyewash?

It's funny that I have changed my opinion about you. The first time I met you I thought I saw you, but I was wrong. I didn't see you at all and though I am taking the liberty of speaking for you...you didn't see me either. No it wasn't that we weren't looking it's just that we didn't see.You know it's just like the difference between hearing the sounds vs really listening. I didn't see you because someone else I knew had met you before .That someone I thought would have done the seeing for me, so I forgot...to see you...at least through my own eyes and you didn't see me either because I had built a wall...the wall of self preservation. If only all these self preservation walls could be painted and sold real estate would be so much cheaper :) Anyway coming back to things we can see and yet don't.

That movie that released last friday...yeah I figured you didn't see it...neither did I but our friends did and we took their word about it being a bore. I haven't yet been to that new restaurant that opened last month however most of the people I know have ...they didn't think much of it so I decided not to go. That review about the book which made you not read it and their opinion about that white jacket you love and now don't wear...yeah I know it's still in the closet. Well I realised that my eyes have been dependent long enough so I decided to let them earn a living. I began by letting go of reviews especially when they are about people I meet for the first time...usually hand me downs aren't the best option you know not when you want to make someone feel really special and when it's something as precious as OUR opinion about someone we know they really shouldn't play a part at all. That is just my opinion what's yours?
