I have to struggle to change people's perceptions of me. I grew very frustrated with the perception that I'm this shy retiring inhibited aristocratic creature when I'm absolutely not like that at all. I think I'm much more outgoing and exuberant than my image.
When life was worrying about a car payment or a rent payment and a bill you're so consumed with that you really don't have time to know yourself. That's surviving and getting by.
