So, who am I then? How many people can truly answer that question? I think a truth in life is that people are always growing and changing, but there are always certain qualities about yourself, your values, and your morals, that remain largely unchanging. I've spent a lot of my life doing self-contemplation, and I feel comfortable sharing some things I've learned about myself, who really am.
-I am an emotional person. No, I don't mean that I'm a drama queen (er king) and that everything that happens to me is some big event. I mean that, I have learned to identify and express my own feelings, and communicate them. I love having my emotions stirred, it makes me feel alive. This is probably in part to my parents and Grandmother, all of whom are involved in psychology. And I really enjoy a good cry - I think it's really healthy.
-I'm a hopeless romantic. Yes, that DOES mean that sometimes I sit in my room listening to Lone Star's "Amazed by You" or Faith Hill's "Breathe" and just say" I wish." or "What if." while pining over some crush. I've learned that it isn't very productive, but I sometimes enjoy embracing that emotion and being alone with my daydreams. I sometimes end up walking alone in a park at night, just staring up at the stars and enjoying the quiet calm and thinking of being with a special someone. I like to give flowers. I try to treat women like ladies. Okay, sorry if that was a little gushy, but like I said. hopeless romantic.
-I think communication is very important - especially LISTENING. If there is one thing I have learned about women, it's that sometimes they just want someone to listen to them. Not fix their problems, offer them advice, just listen and be supportive and perhaps comforting. It's perhaps the most important part of communication - but I think ALL communication is important. Whether friends, family, or significant others, I think we all should be able and willing to share our honest feelings, thoughts, or opinions with each other.
