Are people on the street going to judge me this way or that
A stranger’s opinion may be like a Schrodinger’s cat
As likely to be a rejection as it is not
I should not let that fear affect me a lot
When I am bothered by others’ perception of me
It’s an indication I do not accept myself fully
I worry about saying the wrong thing or wearing the wrong outfit
Or doing something that does not in the category of age-appropriateness fit
But I do not know how I am being viewed
My imagined opinion is by my discomfort skewed
*
Some people would have an opinion unfavorable about me
Some would be indifferent completely
Some others might admire my being unconventional
To worry about all opinions is irrational..
*
If I base my decisions on a coin toss
It would simply be my own loss
So I should stop trying to mind-read
My insecurities I should no longer feed
**The idea of a stranger’s opinion being like a Schrodinger’s cat came from a book I recently read, titled “Becoming Flawesome” by Kristina Mand-Lakhiani
Passion...unbridled 
As if life isn’t hard enough…I always think of that quote “What people think of you is none of your business.” It has always been my mantra throughout life. Who are ‘those people’ anyway?! 😉
