The Old Me

Daily writing prompt
How would you describe yourself to someone?

Do I answer this by what others see? Nah. That would be incorrect.

I still hate this question because I’m always thinking, “What does the person NEED to know?” But it’s not about them. And do I describe myself as of today or how I was five years ago? Okay, I’m probably never going to be that idealistic again. That’s person is gone due to recent life experiences. I can’t go back.

I am…

  • A dog lover. My dog. I can be scared of strange dogs unless they are tiny and friendly. I’m not as scared of dogs as of humans, though.
  • A lifelong learner. My favorite thing is to learn. Recently I’ve been disappointed in the way some information is being gate kept. But most information isn’t locked away for rich people.
  • A plant and flower lover.
  • Empathetic, moody, introverted, quiet, impatient, a questioner, loyal to people who are loyal to me, honest, intuitive,
  • Enjoy yoga, reading, nature, listening to music, naps, leisure time, the beach, taking showers, my birthday, spring, and Halloween at home.
  • I need quiet, ways to learn new things, 7 to 8 hours of sleep daily, honesty, a way to help out (volunteer) even though my time is inconsistent, time to dance, people to stop judging me as a normal person, and headphones on 24/7 (yes, even at night).
  • I treat my dog as if he were human because he reacts in a way that a 3-year-old might. I think people who dismiss this are lacking empathy towards animals and maybe toward people.
  • I want people to just be real, no snow, the temperature to never be under 40 degrees or over 90 degrees, to visit the beach at least a few times a year, more time off from everything,

Not done, but posting. These are the first things I thought of.
