Judge Me By My Cover

“You must be sensitive because you’re a poet”. This is a common perception people have of me. Sometimes they’re right. Sometimes they’re wrong. It can be so easy to fall into the expectations of others without truly knowing who we are inside.

The creative person (artist, author, musician, etc.) is one that is often misunderstood. Although I like to have a little mystery creatively, I’m not a fan of being misunderstood in my personal life. However, I’m learning more and more that how people perceive me shouldn’t be a great concern.

We’ve all heard the saying, “Don’t judge a book by it’s cover”. Nevertheless, we do it anyway when we make snap judgments about people based on their interests, profession or simply their appearance. At times those judgments may be correct, but it’s up to us individually to define how judgments shape us.

Akela Renae and Ethionel Hernandez Ramos join me on the final episode of the Trigger Pointe podcast. Yes, the podcast has come to an end, but it’s not the last of Trigger Pointe by a longshot. I hope you’ve enjoyed the series of discussions and enjoy this week’s episode as well. As always, you get to hear it first.
