Day 12.

There is a certain type of person, a certain archetype, that I keep seeing everywhere. My reaction towards them is the same every time I notice them. I want to kidnap them, take them home with me, praise them, encourage them, and instill them with self confidence. I suppose I am making general assumptions about these people when I see them, that I am judging them by their looks that they lack self respect and confidence. This, I admit, is quite terrible of me. Still, I cannot seem to help myself. It is not unusual of this archetype to walk very slowly, almost as if they are crawling. At first they look like cute, little, old people because their backs are slightly hunched over, but instead they are young. Their heads are tucked down in a slight cower constantly and shrink down further when others talk to them. (This may be the cause of the haunched back--the back is just following the lead of the head.) As much as I would like to assign them to a certain fashion sense, they are individuals and that truth is displayed through their clothing. Now my question is: Are these real people or are they "paper" characters I create in my head and assign to a certain image or does the way people carry themselves and present themselves really reflect their character? What do you think?
