I believe that life moves too fast for trivial bs. And success is not measured by fortune or fame, but by satisfaction with your own life and accomplishments.
I'm laid back, but can be impatient at times. If I want something bad enough, I work to get it. If I don't like someone, I ignore 'em. I can be a good friend; I listen if you need, and give advice if you want. I am a private person unless you are in my very small "circle of trust". I don't repeat what's confided in me, and I don't ridicule what bothers you, even if it sounds trivial. I don't hold back, and expect the same in return. I like people that speak their mind. It can be done without sounding condescending or hostile.
I am open to varying opinions and love a good debate. I play devil's advocate well. Sometimes where I stand is irrelevant if it gets you thinking!
I love reading about mythology and different religions; it is a fascinating subject. Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung have been very influential in my life. Anyone that is so close-minded as to think that their religion is the "only true way" is not someone for me. The only true path I know is the one that makes you feel complete. Mine is a mix of Christianity, Buddhism, and Paganism, with some of my own elements thrown in. Works for me, but I never would push it on anyone else. In the end, we all share the same god, gods, or goddesses. Drives me crazy seeing people kill in the name of religion. Very hypocritical on all sides.
