I just learned that there is a Demeter scent called "Redhead in Bed", and I don't like the way that it smells. Does that make me a self-loathing Ginger Kid?
My profession and my passion come together in some very important ways, but they can also be at odds. When they overlap, I breathe a sigh of relief. When there is dissonance, I hold my breath.
As a result, even when I am moving at the speed of sound I can still feel like I am treading water.
I am never bored by life or the people I love, but I am frequently bored by situations. There are so many things I want to do each day that I often feel overwhelmed.
I cannot imagine what it would be like to NOT be in a state of constant motion and evolution. Stagnation scares me and gives me the urge to move. Of course, I have my routines, but I am no creature of habit.
I am intense, but I laugh louder and smile bigger than most people I know. I have a very strong personality, which both rises from and is the cause of that intensity. I rarely feel indifferent about people, ideas, or situations, and people rarely feel indifferent about me.
I keep a close circle of friends, and I care about each of them deeply. At the same time, I enjoy being alone. I am at my best when I have time to observe, think, process, and draw conclusions on my own. I offer this same space to my friends because for me, reciprocity is one of the most important elements of friendship.
I am so close to my best friend that it scares most people. Sometimes it scares me. But I like it.
I abhor small talk and cocktail party banter, so I am often quiet in large groups. The truth is that I am just waiting to discuss politics, religion, literature, or the environment.
I am sometimes referred to as "disciplined" because of my dedication to causes and ideals, my daily workouts, and my vegan diet. But these things do not require my discipline. They require my love...and love them I most certainly do.
I am passionate, a bit of a dreamer, and oftentimes an overachiever...
