first impressions?

everyday we meet new people, we don't know it when we step out of the house but we do, whether it be an introduction or a casual talk with someone in the same lecture or even just people walking pass, we are constantly judged by anyone and everyone, even though we may have not formally met them. this is the first impression. people say first impressions are important, important in setting the tone and the level of the "to be" relationship. But for most of us a first impression requires only a glance. this glance can be undertaken by anyone, even by a person just casually walking by. I mean in all honesty we've all walked past someone and stared at their outrageous hairdo or their "incompetent" dress sense. I guess this is the reason that so many people spend hours upon hours in the bathroom getting ready, dressing and redressing just to find that perfect outfit for the day to show others, those that see them, who they would like to be perceived as. this includes the large topic: make up. some take it to the extreme, completely changing their normal self to a "better" version where as others just puts in that little more effort early in the morning to make all the difference during the day.

personally i think last impressions are more important than first impressions. don't get me wrong first impressions are "important" but its so hard to please everyone every day, showing everyone who you want to be and what you can be if you spend the effort and time. but last impressions is for a particular group and you have the set time, everything is set, all you need to do is prepare yourself once. Last impressions are also the one, i think, you would remember the most. Some people do remember the first time they meet someone, but i think the last image you see of a person is most likely to be the one that sticks in your head the longest. and as we are humans the last image we want anyone to have of us is a good one, no matter how fake it may be, just as long as it portrays the image that we are pursuing for our selves. but last impressions also results in, as the name states, impressing someone. we would not go through the effort of a good last impression if there was no one we were aiming to impress. but sometimes its just a way of saying good bye to something that just may not be the same again.

My last impression to you today?
