"Mistress of Soliloquy"

10 Things About Me:

-I am a writer-
Among other things.
I learned how to read at the age of 3, ever since then I never stopped reading.
I've always been most comfortable communicating through correspondence rather than verbal exchange of words due to my view of speech being like a double-edged sword. As hard it is to retrieve a thoughtless statement, it is also quite difficult to be guarded well enough from it.
For some people, display of emotions seem to be the most natural thing to do, but in my case, I purge everything through writing.

-I am an artist-
I've always been fascinated by visual arts. At the age of 12, I began producing art.
I'm a self-taught artist and with that being the case, I take pride on every drawing and every painting I create.
No matter how crappy.

-I am a dancer-
I suck at sports.
I have very low blood pressure, so I never bothered with pushing myself to wake up early, go out for runs, and train. I'm practically half-dead and useless in the morning. But dancing is a whole different story. I found some kind of passion for dancing. I focused mostly on ballet, jazz, contemporary and ballroom dancing and that earned me my high school scholarship.
I'm a sucker for performance arts.

-I am musician-
Of my own right. 'Nuff said.

-I am an actress-
I joined a theater group at the age of 16.
The feeling of being a different person, being cast in an alternate dimension, exploring a different personality and molding it with my own brought about a certain emotion in me.
I've fallen in love with and built some kind of life with theater arts and I'm not about to stop just yet.

-I am NOT mentally-ill/crazy/clinically unfit/psychologically disturbed etc.-
Would you be reading this now if I were?
Being able to acknowledge the fact that there's definitely something wrong, realizing that you can be a bit quirky is proof enough that you're sane. And I've long since acknowledged that I'm that, and therefore, I am not.
Yes, I have been diagnosed to have mild anxiety disorder when I was younger, but I don't need to depend on any kind of medication to soothe depression. My sister is a psychologist, I've read most of her books.
Yes, I've created three different personalities within me to help me through stressful situations, but I'm far from being delusional. I know their existence depends solely on my thoughts. I don't hallucinate, I don't have homicidal/violent tendencies, I have full control of my faculties and I manage emotions well.

-I am NOT a loner-
I value my private time, I don't enjoy talking to people I barely know, I'm uncomfortable about initiating a conversation with someone I just met and I prefer to consider someone as a friend only after we've known each other for at least a few years or we've been comfortable with each other enough to share a single glass after only a period of time.
I have a lot of friends and I treasure each of them dearly because as each of them could account to, I'm not someone who's easy to warm-up to. I'm an "acquired taste", as I would like to put it. I can be alone but not lonely.
My friends are assorted, and I never judge a person on the first meeting. I respect various unique personalities, the same way I hope to be received for my uniqueness. I bend to social conventions by choice.

-99.9% of people who claim to know me completely will fail a "how much do you know" quiz if there was any-
The .1% who has the potential to pass would be myself or some chosen few close relations if I were the one who created the quiz; otherwise, it would be 100% failed results.

-I REFUSE to be defined-
My personality does not depend on my astrological sign, my name, my birth date, my religion etc., nor can it be completely read through my hobbies, my words, the way I dress, my social actions and so on. My mental capabilities are not limited to things that interest me, my dominant brain hemisphere or things taught to me in school. My physical attributes depend on how one, when and who looks at me.
People who know me in the past, would not be accurate in guessing how I am now, and the same could be said about the people who know me now about the future.

-Even though you've read the entirety of this post, you still don't know me.-

As a child, everyone around me looked at me as some kind of a "smart cookie". They all speculated that I had the potential to be great. But, of course, there are certain conditions to be met before one can accomplish greatness. I suppose it doesn't help that I'm lazy as a chopped log and possess the attention span of a toddler.
