Kalopsia (Pronounced ka-lop-sE-a): noun. The delusion of things being more beautiful than they really are.
The world around us is changed by our perception. There are things our eyes simply cannot perceive and so we do not see them. Our brains sometimes skip over that which we have no understanding of. Therefore, our perception of the world is distorted by our understanding and experiences. There are things that exist out there. Things that we cannot conceive of. We are so focused on names and material things that we miss the essence of the world. We miss out on wonderful experiences. This is my story- my name has long been forgotten, but our actions have not.

Defined By(Louis Tomlinson)
Lilly, You are not your age, nor the size of the clothes you wear, you are not a weight, or the color of your hair. You are not your name, or the dimples in your cheeks, you are all the books you read, and all the words you speak, you are your croaky morning voice, and the smiles you try to hide, you're the sweetness in your laughter, and every tear you've cried, you're the places you have been to, and the one you call home, you're the things that you believe in, and the people that you love, you're the photos in your bedroom, and the future you dream of, you're made of so much beauty, but it seems that you forgot, when you decided you were defined, by all the things your not.Complete

A face in the crowd. Alone in my own little lifeboat, floating in the sea. I try not to care, I really do. I try not to let it bother me how everyone's gaze slides off of me like water, as if I'm not even there.
