okay here is my thought of the day....i was wondering if everyone felt the same as me....do you think that anyone will ever completely know you? here is where my thought comes from....okay at work i know this guy named chuck...good guy, i only talk to him about sports (dont' write me off i have a vast list of interests)....so to chuck...i am the guy at work to talk to about the phillies.....okay...i have another good friend at work named kathleen.....to her i am a good friend...i help her with her relationship problems....listen to her worries....talk to her about my problems...etc....so she knows my vulnerable....human...and listening side....but knows nothing about my love of the things in other areas (this website included...as she would probably just think i'm a pervert for being here).....nor does she care what i know about the phillies...just as chuck would never ask me for relationship solutions.....i don't know this is just blowing my mind....how you can be one person....but be perceived as so many based on the people you know and their individual needs....

'do you think that anyone will ever completely know you?' i imagine that depends on what 'knowing you' is. . . and i'm not sure that perceiving every aspect of your personality is necessarily it. granted, no one will ever have the intimate relationship with yourself that you have. no one has your memories or history, and therefore you are unique. i want to say that for another individual to be able to completely define you, he would need to be you. and, well, it's fairly unlikely that that will happen.
but i have quite a few people in my life (who aren't my coworkers, so that's a start) who i feel 'know' me. they are as close to me as i imagine anyone ever will be. and although perhaps they have never seen me cry hysterically, or have an orgasm, or dance my heart out, etc, they know enough about me to imagine these things are possible. maybe that's it: someone knows you when they can predict your actions? it's a thought.
