I am begining to look more and more like my miserable imitators.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
As I get older, I have a different look on life. I just try to be a little more tolerant and a little bit more centered about what's going on around me and not so emotional.
Obviously I've gone out of my way in my career to not look good, so it's always nice to, every once in a while, get the opposite going.
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.
I think at times I appear to be miserable when I am not... I might be having quite a good thought at that moment, but it seems I look miserable. I am not.
I don't want to look exactly the same in everything I do. And if I'm not identifiable, then that can be a blessing or a curse. But I'm fine with it. Because at the end of the day, I'm still working, and I'm enjoying what I do.
I try to make myself look as normal as possible because I like people to relate to me.
I often don't feel like the person I look like.
The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.
There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through.
I'm learning to embrace who I am and what I look like.
