To Know Who You Are

What are you beliefs?

I believe in God.

I believe that we are essentially all good people, and it is just hard circumstance that leads people to stray.

I believe that there is always time to come back, to change, and to redeem yourself.

I believe in second chances.

I believe that life is worth something.

I believe that a single person can stand up and change the world. 

I believe in friends, family, and strangers.

I believe I will be that change in the world.

I believe that I have great things before me, if only I can be brave enough to grab them.

I believe in action. 

I believe in belief.

I believe that dreams are what truly fuels us.

But more specifically, I believe in a pantheistic deity that pervades all life. I believe that he (though he hath no gender) is unequivocally good... and evil. I believe that he is everything, and that those words mean nothing to him, other than balance. 

I believe that, yes, when bad things happen it is karma. Either from a past life, group karma, or karma you've racked up in the years you've been alive in your present body.

I believe that connections, deep connections, you have with your friends, family, lovers, and random strangers are actually god at work, and that you are helping those people (like they're helping you) resolve their karma.

I don't believe in oblivion- I believe in the joining. 

I believe, like I believed and hoped and prayed when I was a little girl, that one day I'll be whisked away into some magical world and asked to save it.

I believe in altruism, without expectation, personal trumpeting, or selfishness of any sort.

I believe I am making a change in my life, for the better.

What is your personality?

I am bold and usually unashamed.

I am extraordinarily gifted in some ways. 

I am the leader in my small pack of friends.

For them, I am the decision maker and mediator. 

I am the lover of adventure.

I am the trier of unconventional things, simply for the sake of fun.

I am the lover of theology, customs, and mythology.

I am the altruistic. At least, I try to be.

I am constantly contemplating myself, and wondering why I would react in such a way. The people around me are not immune to my dissection. 

I am trying to teach myself to be organized, and I have the capacity to learn quickly if I focus.

I rarely focus for long periods of time. I'm working on this, too.

I have big, big dreams and I believe I can reach them.

I am socially awkward. I have no idea how normal people work. I'm trying to learn that, too.

I am competitive, in a way that most people don't know about.

I've been selfish. Very, very selfish. Now I'm trying to learn how to put others first. 

I am introverted, it's true. I prefer small crowds of people, and I don't like talking to people I don't know well on the phone. 

I can speak publicly, however, and be fine.

What are you actions?

    priorities.

to become a better person, most especially in compassion and intellect.

to take the mission by the hand and spread it through south east asia. And maybe my child will take it by the hand then, and spread it through the world.

to do extraordinarily well in college. 

    coping skills.

rush drawing, with pens. or those long, slow drawing with markers.

to analyze why i'm upset and then reason it away. usually it has something to do with my personality, which restricts me from accepting them wholly.

and if, perhaps, someone says i can't do something... well, i've always been wonderfully good at ignoring them, whether intentionally or not.

     accomplishments and goals.

i have given hundreds of hours away to my community, be it here or in that far off nation. that is an accomplishment. 

the goal is to dedicate my life.

i have accomplished beautiful drawings that have made me, if no one else, proud.

the goal is to do more, but better.

i have succeeded in tournaments with my martial arts,

and i aim to do better.

my goals are to be compassionate, more religious, more disciplined, more organized. 

my goal is to succeed.
