Me

It's Sunday afternoon and I feel like sharing.

I stumbled upon an article this summer that really touched me. It did because I felt like I was reading about myself. I find it really interesting to read about how humans function, and how there is no way of telling what another person is feeling or thinking. I mean truly feeling and thinking.
We try, we over-analyze, we misunderstand, we judge, and we walk away out of fear of getting hurt.

I often get the feeling that people think they know how I function, but there are so many things that I am that does not necessarily show. I am a loner, a thinker, a feeler and a person who believes in signs. I am outgoing, hard-skinned and driven. I love meditating outdoors, walk alone, and write poetry. I love drinking wine with a big crowd, I love the feeling of being productive, work hard and lead other people.
Many of these things might seem contradictory but it's the way I am. The qualities you see from the outside are the ones I get judged by, but it's what's on the inside that's the real me.

Back to the article, it's called "How to love a leo".  I have copied a few paragraphs that are so spot on it's scary.

"She will yearn not for a castle on a hilltop, but for a cabin in the woods, so that she can sit by the river that runs through the land and listen to the lessons the four directions has to share. She will bow down and touch her forehead to the ground often, in an act of reverence and gratitude—and she will understand that the breeze that whistles through treetops carries with it messages meant just for her."

"She is stubborn—but she is kind and her compassion reaches to the far corners of the earth. In her heart, she holds it all; the joy and the sorrow, the laughter and the tears. As much as she wants you to wrap your arms around her and be held, she also needs long moments to hold herself, for a Leo feels so deeply at times she wonders if it is a blessing or a curse."

"She will feel like royalty if you return from a walk in the woods with a handful of wild flowers and if you take her on a date to gaze at the stars, she will devote her heart to you, and you alone. "

I am me, it's all I can be. It is also all I want to be, and that is a big realization.
