Your Personality at 35,000 Says...

Deep down, you vastly prefer being with others to being alone. You love to engage people in conversation. You are good with your place in the world. You are confident and comfortable with who you are. Your gift is having a way with words. You know how to express yourself well. You are inspired by what is possible. Real life is often too ordinary for you. It's very easy for you to feel happy. You can find peace with any situation.

I don't much care what people think about me.  It's been one of those things that I've truly come to terms with in myself over the past year or so.  Yes, I went through a bad phase where I hit rock bottom and cared deeply that people liked or disliked me.  But I think everyone has to hit that at sometime in her life to really know who she is.

And to like herself. 

Now, I know how to play the games in life.  The work politics, the social niceties, the little white lies that get us through difficult situations.  I don't think playing those games, hiding aspects of myself to get done what needs to be done (even if getting done is just getting through), but I try to do it as little as possible.  I am who I am.  And most of those that I've shown that to have believed it and remained in my life.  There are those that didn't believe.  My not-soon-enough-ex is one of them.  And there are those that believed and moved on.  This is ok; it's the way it's supposed to be.  Because I don't exist to make anyone but me happy. 

I know that sounds selfish, but I don't care what people think.  I show you who I am - rainbows, clouds, snowflakes and everything else - believe that's who I am.  The good the bad and the ugly.  Accept it and be my friend or don't and move on.  I'm not going to change to be what you think I should be.  I will only change for me.

And I learned that one the hard way.  Which is also how it should be.  No lesson worth learning is ever, ever easy.

This is what being bored at work gets me.  But I'm unsurprised at the results.
