Yearbook

I got my yearbook today. I flipped through the pages. I saw pictures of people and write-ups that attempt to describe a person in 150 words or less. But you can't. It's impossible.

I read my own write-up and i don't even completely agree with it; and it was written by one of the people who know me best. I can't see myself in that single page. Something is missing. I am not only that, i cannot be contained in a page, i am more. Everybody's more than a single page.

I read the ones of the people i know, and i don't agree with what's written about most of them. She's not that friendly or He's not that deep. Who wrote these things about you? And why did i not meet the person described in that page? Why didn't you let me talk to that girl who seems so ideal in words?

What about the ones i don't know? It surprised me that i recognized only a handful of the faces and names in that book. I didn't even know you existed. We were there for at least four years! Why don't i know you?
