Persona... Full of daydreams and fantasies, my mind is often off in another world rather than existing in this one. I try to live up to my name and gain as much wisdom as I can.
Here is my friend Cait's description of me from a couple years ago- Well.. I'd say that, to the rest of the world, you'd seem like a normal person, but very mature. I think you give off the impression that you're very quiet, very observant, and very author-like - taking in surroundings and turning the simplest things into the most beautiful, with flourishing details. However, to those who know you well, they know there is a different person under all that. Yes, you're quiet, serious, and author-like, but there are many other parts of you. You're very wise and live up to your name, sage. There is also the person waiting to emerge - out-spoken, I think, and ready to have fun. And...that's the best I can come up with. Bleh.
It took a very long time, but I have become some of what Cait has described me as and more. I spend my time observing people to learn how they act. By doing this, I can decide on the most benifical actions to take to get what I want. I am still very serious, no matter what mood I am in, and keep a "back door" to my actions and thoughts open at all time. I do not like making mistakes.
It has taken a lot of time, but I have become that outspoken person as well. I'm no longer shy- I no longer care about what anyone thinks about me, except my family and my soul mates. I am outspoken about my opinons, still nervous about public speeches but handling it with grace and ease, and have embraced making myself happy. How do I do that? When I was scared of everyone, I hated the way that my body looked and thought I wasn't sexy. Now? I flawnt my body, in a way- I wear clothes that don't make me look like a shapeless mass, but are a far cry from anything "reveiling". I tease and suprise people with my jokes about sex and "raunchy" moods- to quote Katie:
"God! I'm... I'm shocked! I thought you were, like, you know, one of those good little innocent girls who never had a "bad" thought in their head, but you're so not like that!"
Let me add that she was in helpless laughter while she was saying this, too. I guess that is what I like about this- I can make people laugh and at least seem like their having a good time, by taking a subject they're uncomfortable with and showing them its not that big a deal by joking about it.
Overall, I'm still considered a "good" girl. I say "please", "thank you", "I'm sorry", "How are you?", and all those other Ps & Qs. I hate it when people are mean to each other- even when someone is doing something mean to me, or my friends, I try to turn it around and ease the situation out by looking at it from a few different points of view. I love helping people- I will go out of my way to do anything to help someone, if I have first made sure I'm all put together. I love complimenting people, and thanking my teachers after each day in class for the lessons that they've taught me. It's amazing how far and wide spread a little politeness, patience, and attenchion can go.
