About Me

There isn't much to tell you at this point. I am at a crossroads in my life and am taking off on, yet another, journey of self-discovery. I feel as if I lost a valuable part of myself along the way and I miss it. So far, I have swung high and low on the back of circumstance and I have put up a good fight. I have experienced such a wide array of emotions, people, troubles, needs, and knowledge throughout my life that I am unaccustomed to stillness. I didn't ask for a break but it came nonetheless, and I welcomed it at the time. Now, however, I am exhausted with it. This plateau has worn me thin and I am threatening to break. I feel empty and I need a boost. I need to experience life again. I need to help people. I need to love wholeheartedly. I need to teach and learn. I need to grow, expand and experience the raw burn of emotions that penetrate the depths of my soul. I need to feel alive! I need to shed this tough skin and to begin to grow again. Ahhh, the transitions of being. BEAUTIFUL!

My Interests

A Man Young And Old: II.

Like the moon her kindness is,
If kindness I may call
What has no comprehension in't,
But is the same for all
As though my sorrow were a scene
Upon a painted wall.

So like a bit of stone I lie
Under a broken tree.
I could recover if I shrieked
My heart's agony
To passing bird, but I am dumb
From human dignity.

William Butler Yeats

I'd like to meet:

Noam Chomsky, Wangari Maathai, Shirin Ebadi, Sean Connery

Your Personality is the Rarest (INFJ)
Your personality type is introspective, principled, self critical, and sensitive.

Only about 2% of all people have your personality - including 3% of all women and around 1% of all men.
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, and Judging. How Rare Is Your Personality?
