*A Good Impression* _How important is it?_ Well, what is a good
   impression? It depends on a number of things. You are who you
   are but you're more than just *you*. You're also the one you
   *appear* to be - but to *who[m]*? Ask "Who do I want to
   impress?" and what are my reasons why. Is it Mom, Dad, Teacher?
   Friend, Boss, Client? Community, School or Public?* Sister,
   Cousin, Great-Aunt long dead? We have many people whom we feel
   the need to impress. For some it may be God or Jesus or Mentor.
   But decide: What, for *you* is worth the stress? If* a
   wrinkle-free shirt, tied shoes, white smile, is what they ask,
   and it's something you don't mind to give,* then by all means,
   you can dress to look the part, and you'll be accepted and then
   be let in. But perhaps you are a contrary sort and think, "No!
   You can't tell me what to do!"* Then consider, perhaps, who it
   is then that, you want to impress instead? For me, shirt
   untucked, hair undone, perfectly capable of looking just fine...
   the ones that I find I wish to impress are the misfits and
   outcasts and awkward people, those just a little left of center
   and of myself, they tend to remind. Of course, when the time
   comes when I need to look the part. I tuck my shirt in and comb
   my hair and whiten my teeth and straighten my back. It's not
   really hard to fit in, at least some, if that's what you want to
   do. There's rules to learn and guidelines to follow, all
   practical and perfectly true. I follow them when I must and I'm
   ok with them all, they keep our society a-flow. But when I'm
   with friends, mostly here online, this is where I let myself go.
   Thanks, my friends.* Not a great poem but I really wasn't
   shooting for poetry at first.* Sorry if it came out the worst.*
   Just an idea I had and felt the need to converse :P
