My Ill-Fitting Nutshell

I am a person of dichotomies. I am at turns both egotistical and self-conscious. I am obscenely open and insanely private. I am extremely intelligent and yet painfully stupid and naive. I am both questioning and gullible. I am fierce yet soft-hearted, have a giant temper yet so very much love to give. Oblivious and empathetic. And sometimes all of the above at the same time. I am however always passionate, always open to new things and adventures of all sizes, and always exploring.

Do I contradict myself?

Very well then, I contradict myself,

I am large, I contain multitudes.

I am passionate about learning; I eat knowledge in all forms from waffles to protein bars to broccoli (though actual protein bars are ridiculous!). Reading, painting, sewing, stained glass, writing, guitar, I find myself drawn to all things creative. I dabble in everything but am master of nothing. I try not to let that small fact inhibit the enjoyment experienced in partaking of the activities but my ego does occasionally get in the way.

Someone once described me as a silly tree-hugging, yoga-doing, car-singing weirdo. I will leave it to you to decide how accurate that is.
