What’s the First Impression I want to give People?

Daily writing prompt
What’s the first impression you want to give people?

This is a hard one to answer, but either I’m a writer or I’m not, and to write you need to turn yourself inside out and bleed all over the place.

Or something like that…

So, here we go.

I try to come off tougher than I really am.

I wear a lot of black, t-shirts with skulls on it, punk rock belts. I have a belt with fake bullets on it. No one buys my tough girl look for long. Most people see through it after they get to know me and then come to see me more as a quirky, cute little thing.

Which I sort of am, but then I’m not.

Get between me and a goal of mine that I’m determined to achieve and I’m not so cute anymore…

The black and the skulls and the bullets are protection, for all the good it does in the long run, but it serves as a first line of defense.

  7. Hello there! 🌟 Your article resonated with me on so many levels. It’s refreshing to see someone embrace the duality within themselves, transitioning between the tough exterior and the quirky, determined individual underneath. The imagery of black attire, skulls, and punk rock belts serving as a first line of defense is both vivid and relatable. It’s a beautiful reminder that we all have layers beyond the surface.

    Your commitment to your goals shines through, and I admire your willingness to share this journey with your readers. The mix of toughness and vulnerability is a captivating combination.
