This is a question asked by eharmony to put on a users profile. Seems harmless at a first glance, yet it gives me an odd feeling of being misunderstood. That sounds a little too nice, id rather call the question a horrible attempt at trying to simplify ones personality. Sorry for my arrogance, but no one is simple enough to answer it. I know I'm a complicated person, I want to be deep and have so many layers that it takes a decade to see a glimpse of what I am.
I wish people would notice:
first and foremost, that I give a damn about everyone. Its a simple enough rule for me to say that I love everyone, except those who have proven to hurt others. In even simpler terms, everyone gets an A in my book, and all people have to do is not fail, and they will have my respect.
that I think. I'm sure this needs more explaining, but only for what I think about. I think about everything around me, I try to notice things that wouldn't work well together. Like leaving food out when you have a dog, too me that is second nature. I also think about "what-if", probably the greatest thing that controls me. I can be either delusional and ignorantly happy, or in an agonizing pain that keeps me up hours into the night only noticing the feeling of stomach acid burning through my esophagus. I wish I had more control over it, I wish I did not have to imagine what happy was like, and I wish I knew only peaceful and simple dreams.
that I don't believe in self-motivation. Everything I've done in life has been for someone else. Mostly for people who do not even exist yet, the future of my life, and the purpose of everything I've tried to accomplish. I only care about a career that can support a family, I only want a home that provides the environment they will deserve. I don't even go the gym for myself, i was happy with my body before. I only do it so I will be more attractive to who I share myself with. This is NOT to be confused with the idea that I am trying to be a better catch in the world of dating, I honestly do not care how I look to someone who I do not share an emotional commitment with. Basically, it would be much easier to say I started working out after I met the girl, but as I am single, people will just have to take my word for it.
that nothing is impossible to me. This was the last thing my dad had told me, it was on a note he had written right before the end, and i believe it. I am someone who can do anything, it is not that I have special powers, only that I know what I will need, and how to find if, and have the faith in myself to follow through with my decided plan.
that people would try to notice less about me, Its too often that I am misunderstood. People who think they know me, are no part of my life. The people I call my friends, I hope I can know my entire life.
