Heard this song again when I was driving my car. A song that I'd forgotten for so long. Hearing it gave me the inspiration to write a blog.
Here are the first two definition Impression:
1. a strong effect produced on the intellect, feelings, conscience, etc.
2. the first and immediate effect of an experience or perception upon the mind; sensation.
The keywords are first, feelings, experience and perception. First impression is a very common term and I believe it is quite important in our relationship. Our first impression of others and vice versa can affect the rest of our relationship with them. First impression can be determined by physical appearance (if we meet other people in person), the choice of words we use when we communicate (ie via email, chat, or forum). This first impression might build incorrect image of a person esp when after the first impression there's not much interaction happens. We're still perceive that person based on our (interaction) experience, which is not much, thus we 'see' that person through 'the first impression that person gave' spectacles. Trouble is, our first impression of a person is not always correct. Not to mention that our mood or condition also affects the impression we get. Example: A (in a very good mood) met B when B was having a bad day. A cheered B up a little (thanks to the very good mood). On the other day, C (in bad mood) met B when B was still having a bad day. A and C probably would say that B is a sad and miserable person (not to mention if, hypothetically B hadn't taken a shower for days). B might say that A was a kind person for cheering B up a lil, while C was an indifferent person. But maybe later on B would meet C with superbly good mood. Then B could experience another impression of C, that C was actually kind...bla..bla...bla...
My points are first impression is quite important and we better not rush into judging a person only from a few interaction. And while maybe the first impression given was not really good, remember tabula rasa and communicate to get to know the person better. We might see that person in his/her real skin. Even peoples who know each other might have the wrong impression because impression is based on feelings, assumptions and it can be formed. That's why, an honest communication is important to avoid wrong impression.
Hmmm....well I guess I've learned enough from my own experiences... *I was sure I had something else I wanna write...but now it's gone...I'll add it up if it comes back
Ok, without any further ado, here's the song I mean in the beginning of this post...Natalie Imbruglia with Wrong Impression
Natalie Imbruglia - Wrong Impression
Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why I'm always alone
When you're in my dreams
Calling out, calling out
Haven't you wondered
Why you're finding it hard
Just looking at me
I want you
But I want you to understand
I need you
I love you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
(Yeah) Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try to
Make a connection
(Yeah) Of love
Falling out, falling out
Have you ever wondered
If this was ever more
Than a crazy idea
Falling out, falling out
Have you ever wondered
What we could've been
If you'd only let me in
I want you, but I want you to understand
I miss you I love you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
(Yeah) Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try to
Make a connection
(Yeah) Of love
Have you ever wondered
(Yeah, yeah...ooh)
I need you I love you
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
(Yeah) Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try to
Make a connection
(Yeah) Of love
Didn't want to leave you
With the wrong impression
Didn't want to leave you
With my last confession
(Yeah) Of love
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction
All I wanna do is try to
Make a connection
(Yeah) Of love
I didn't want to leave you there (I'm calling out)
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction - but I'm calling out (Yeah, yeah)
Wasn't trying to pull you
In the wrong direction - but I'm falling out (Yeah...)
