Hey Sandman, I can understand why people might think that.. or it might seem like that. It's like if someone uses very broken english in type.. I might assume it isn't there first language. It's just what we do with those "seems" like in our heads. I think you already got that tho. I hope you didn't think I was pointing you out with that, not at all.

There was a thread a while back, about tattoos and what people assume. Some people assumed that if it was on the neck or face that the person was a con or ex con. Some people assumed they didn't give any thought to their future or stuff like that. I think I was a little surprised for some reason about how much people assume based on this little stuff. I have a tattoo around my neck and one small one on my face, and other larger ones in different places... I am not a con or ex con, I think about my future. I don't party, drink do drugs, am not violent, just trying to think of popular assumptions on that one. I am just a single mom, trying my best to raise three kids, trying to deal with mental illness, I go to yoga everyday, I eat healthy, take responsibility for my issues, and work to change myself and grow to the best of my ability. I am calm, peaceful, and aware of myself.

Trying to navigate through stereotypes.. A forever process, I was homeless for my whole youth.. stereotype, bipolar.. stereotype... abused...stereotype... I look rather young for having three children... stereotype...single mom ...stereotype... I could make a huge list. And we all could I know that.

We all are so unique and individual... it's amazing.. You are so correct about that.
