English Reflection

I wanted to save the reflection for English class for when I was at home. I don't know why... but it felt better to me.

1. Who are you? (What are some of your traits? What are some of your beliefs? What makes you content or happy? What do you stand for? What won't you stand for? Where do all of these come from, specifically?
2. What has been your purpose, the meaning of your existence so far? Looking at what you wrote on the first page, what do you hope the purpose of your existence will be in the future?

I'm a 5'5" brunette with matching brown eyes that tend to change their hue depending on the light. Sometimes, they turn an odd red-brown that makes me feel like a demon when people notice it. Other times, they look hazel. My hair is a beast and is extremely difficult to manage properly. It is easily damaged, but that doesn't stop me from trying to tame it with anything I can. I'm often uncomfortable in my own skin, except for when I'm on stage. When I'm performing, even as myself, I feel more comfortable, which is unusual for most people. I tend to live with my heart more than my head and am a relationship-oriented person. I like talking to people. I like talking about myself. I believe that people are inherently similar in some way or another. I make sweeping generalizations and often feel myself being pulled into stereotypes and norms, but try to avoid them at all costs. I strongly believe in LGBTQ rights and human rights in general. I believe in the power of art. I believe in love. I believe in God and some form of an afterlife. I believe in Heaven, but I'm still not sure about Hell. I believe that my late grandpa is always there for me and often talk to him before I sleep. I pray. I get obsessive about things and music. I get caught up in completely useless situations and self-imposed drama to pass the time. I imagine my life through the eyes of my friends to see what they would do in situations. I can't verbalize the way I feel about some people (romantically or platonically). I get frustrated with friends when they're distant. I get jealous. I make to-do lists that never get done. I'm pretty forgetful. I'm also pretty organized, even though my room may look like chaos. I like bright rooms and natural light. I like being on stage. I like wearing character shoes and big t-shirts. I feel the most beautiful when I'm clean, in soffee shorts and a big t-shirt with no make-up and my hair in a loose ponytail. I'm content and happy. I am scared and nervous (especially for my performance tonight, which makes no sense because I'm never nervous before shows).

I want to write more, but my call time is soon and I need to get ready. I'll talk more later.
