• If you take away your race, religion, family, education and job - who are you?

   

  First and foremost, I am a human being. I consume (words, thoughts, ideas, music, moments), and I expel (words, thoughts, ideas, music, emotions).

  I am insecure.

  I am searching for meaning.

   

  I am an encyclopedia of knowledge, who survived her academic career by memorizing the necessary information. Recently, I realized that facts and statistics have little relevance in this world; rather, what truly matters ought to be compassion, respect, love, loyalty, and forgiveness. I believe that we should combat ignorance and apathy, but memorization is not the way. Rather, awareness to one’s surroundings is more useful. Listening is the among the greatest gifts that can be given.

   

  Music gives me a reason to live. The kind embraces of friends occasionally give me yet another reason.

   

  I want to learn how to love.

   

  I was a shell of my former self; but somehow, it seems as if another hermit crab journeyed from its previous location, and chose to fill the hollow space that once existed.

  
  I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!
