CURRENT MISSION

I take life as it comes... Don't really like to plan muchd

ABOUT ME

I approach life emotionally and subjectively and am sensitive to the emotional atmosphere, the subtle undercurrents, of feeling in and around me. Instinctive and irrational, I am often unable to give a clear, simple explanation for my actions. My emotions and personal loyalties tend to color my thoughts and opinions. I view life from a very personal perspective and often cannot mentally detach myself from my own personal bias and prejudices. I am apt to be concerned primarily with how something affects me and those dear and close to me, rather than with the principle or the broader social implications. My moods fluctuate and change frequently and I am sometimes open, sometimes withdrawn emotionally. I often communicate nonverbally and appreciate a person who can pick up subtle cues and hints, rather than having to make everything explicit. I may seem to others to be very gentle, malleable, and easily taken in. As a result, people can take advantage of me, especially through my pity or sympathy. If I seem to be continually disappointed by or deceived by others, I try to see how my own naiveté may be contributing to these situations. Quiet, deep, emotionally complex and intensely private, I am not a person who is easy to get to know and understand. I am extremely sensitive but disinclined to show it, and I allow only a special few into my inner world. Like a wary animal, I am cautious and mistrustful of those I do not know until I "sniff them out". I am very, very instinctive and intuitive. I usually have a strong, immediate gut reaction to people, even though I may be unable to clearly articulate why I feel as I do. My feelings and perceptions go deeper than words. Whatever I do, I do with passion and fervor, and I often go to extremes. I am either hot or cold, never lukewarm about anything. I can also be very narrow: either I am one hundred percent involved in something or else it doesn't exist for me at all. I have a warrior's attitude - decisive, courageous, and bold. I tend to always want to do something, even when waiting for an appropriate time or not doing something (simply letting things alone to resolve themselves) would actually be more efficient and effective. I absolutely cannot tolerate being passive or even patient about getting what I want. I feel that it is up to me to take the initiative and I go after my goal or desire very aggressively. I love mysteries and I am deeply attracted to the hidden, dark, secret side of life. I never take things at face value and I am always probing beneath the surface of people and situations to discover what is REALLY going on. I tend to be more of a cynic than an idealist. I feel I am part of a generation that is extremely enterprising and forward-looking. I am a member of a generation of optimists and explorers. My age group shoots for the stars, figuratively and literally. There is a buoyant and youthful optimism and enthusiasm in my group, and I have my share of great discoveries as well.

PHILOSOPHY

I live life day by day, enjoying every moment as much as possible. I tend to forget the past quite easily, especially when it's a bad memory. I like to plan for the future, but thus far, my plans have yet to be realized.
