Here are some general comments people gave if they were to describe me to a friend. I feel humbled by these, thank you.
- She is somebody who has a free-spirit, who tries to live life to the fullest with her friends and family, but yet is a hard-worker and makes herself stay grounded at the same time.
- K brings things to my world that I often don’t see. There is a crazy balance that one can find from speaking with her. Be it if your conversation is about relationships, family, art, work, etc., she always has a perspective I want to see. A perspective I appreciate.
- She is straight-up, too. This is one of my favorite things about her!
- She is peacy and mellow; very tolerant and gentle. Yet she seems determined and ambitious, focused on the task at hand.
- K is a loyal friend who is a blast to hang out with. She is constantly studying and learning new things.
- K is a strong person who attracts good people.
- She is adventurous, out going and a planner and a completer. She enjoys living! She is a great listener and problem solver. She is easy going and great to spend time with. She is trustworthy and honest and loves to dance!!
- That she is fun, smart, loyal, adventure seeking, kind-hearted, passionate about her life and world, loving, and willing to help less fortunate than herself as well as family and friends.
- Focused, intense, seeking, driven by ?, intelligent, somewhat guarded
- K is beautiful. She has hopes and dreams for this world and the people in it but casts judgment when merited. She’s a seeker who hopes one day to find what she’s looking for. In the meantime she’s really happy, fun and therapeutic to be around. She has a beautiful smile and when she’s relaxed and in the moment she’s quite magnetic.
So there you have me in a nutshell.
and what an awesome nutshell that is.
This was really neat to read Keli, it was great to recognize what I said about you and to see that others see much of what I do, but other things as well :)
awesome exercise!
