"I'm pretty, but I'm not beautiful.
I sin, but I'm not the DEVIL.
I'm good, but I'm not an angel."
-M.M.
I have the natural ability to identify with people from all walks of life-from all backgrounds, in some way. I am not only changeable but I am also adaptable; I have a very open mind and tremendous understanding of life. I always yearn for understanding and yet, I often feel like I am always being pulled in different directions because of it. I am often misunderstood probably because I tend to be pragmatic, skeptical, self-contained, and focused on problem-solving and systems analysis (everything can be analyzed to some degree). I pride myself on being caring, independent, hardworking and strong willed. I am even-tempered, but I TRUST LOGIC (don't make decisions on the fly), seek knowledge, and dream of understanding (how the world works, what makes things tick), but whatever systems fire my curiosity, I will always analyze them and figure out how to make them work better. I am sensitive to criticism, sensitive to how others feel, and easily touched by human suffering. I BELEIVE IN PEOPLE, and easily empathize with their concerns and fears. The process for searching for a solution is more important to me than finding someone to blame. I tend to be unbiased (look at the process, and not getting personal) even if this places me endanger with the powers to be, it's about standing by my principles and doing what's right. My biggest gripe is compassionless human behavior...mercy will always be my choice over justice. When the world becomes too much, I will retreat into my own world (won‘t answer my cell or call a friend for weeks), but rest assured, though these periods are rather short-lived, they are useful for me because, I will return ...stronger, with a spring in my step, ready to face the world again, and just as, if not more, compassionate and trusting as I was before.
