How do you define yourself? How does your opinion compare to what others think of you?
Me, Myself, and I: I like to define myself by my actions, and I think my actions usually speak for themselves. When others ask, I define myself as Pagan and Witch, Pantheist and scholar. I am female, human, and a socialist. I am sentient, honorable, and compassionate. I am frugal. I am an asexual. I define myself as someone who will stand up for others even if I won’t always stand up for myself. I am self-aware but not too self-conscious or self-absorbed. I am self-contained. I am lonely and sad. I am disappointed in people. I am tired and impatient. I am ready for this to be my last incarnation.
The public Me they See: I am a non-conformist and a free spirit. I am a “happy goth.” I do what needs to be done when no one else will. I am happy and gregarious. One of my coworkers told me I am the smartest person she knows. People who know me think I am silly. I like to play with words and turn what people say around to be funny. People know when I like them because I cook for them. I am observant and meddlesome with advice. I tell people what I see because people ask me to tell them the truth about themselves and their situations. I have been told that I take too much to heart. Another coworker says I “cannot think outside the box” because I will not let him have his own way. Everyone laughs at him behind his back because he is what he thinks I am. I am firm, but fair. I am aloof and “out there.” I am strange and maybe mentally deranged. I am fat and pushy.

I believe in dreams and I thank you for your generous offer…way kind-and deeply appreciated.
I’m ready for this to be my last cycle too.
sounds like a good subject to me. i think we would all ace it at one time or another. i try not to look too deeply sometimes because sometimes my mind has been invaded by things that really aren’t me. i will have to look up that book. i am starting one this week between georgia but i have a week of vacation coming up that i have nothing planned for. a good book is a must when nothing is going on.
i saw something on tv at one time that i desided my brother might be but i can’t remember the name of it. sounds like what your talking about though. my brother’s 37 so i don’t think he’s going to grow out of it. and nothing tends to get him motivated except food. youd be surprised how fast he can move if he thinks he’s getting free fast food/ restraunt food. any other kind and he’s slow going.
i have to say whenever people tell me i’m using depression as a crutch i just dig right on in more with my “mood” so it doesn’t do any good them telling me stuff like that. it’s definitely not a motivator. i don’t really know how to get unmovivated from something like that. love is the only way i guess.
