I worked at a certain corporate bookstore throughout over two years of my life.

When I was on vacation, I was retreating from this place; when I didn't have to work a day, I was recuperating for whenever I had to return there. And my opportunies were teathered there whenever I made plans.

Now that I don't work at this place anymore and I've severed the connection that had become so woven into my life, I don't feel as differently as I had expected. I feel like I've just cut from my lifestyle an unnecessary strain.

Now, it's time to hunt for an unnecessary strain of a different flavor.

I'm nourished by a beautiful talent.

She creates a cornucopia of emotions and sensations with the diaphanous trail of her words. You've been given a gift, a gift that makes the world feel with more texture and appear with more vibrance. She interprets the pattering rain, the freshly cut grass, the sound of indifferent birds into a realm of spiritual beauty,

elevating the banal into sublimity.

I am an entrepreneur.


The ambitious, moving force of enterprise gives me energy

(I have no interest in a life that's dedicated to material gain.)



I am an artist.


The limitless, unmappable landscape of creativity gives life meaning

(I enjoy the creativity of others too much to have confidence in my own.)



I am an adventurer.


The daring, active effort for excitement earns a fulfilled retrospection

(I lack the energy for a life that's lived to move.)



I am a scholar.


What I learn becomes a substantial, untouchable appendage of who I am

(Simplicity may be the only way one can see the world as it is.)



I am a dreamer.


Possibilities gild the commonplace

(I'm afraid of missing out on the mercurial present.)



I am a pragmatic.


Security provides a blank canvas for personal development

(Spontaneity paints life with unpredictable, vital vibrance.)



I am a philanthropist.


I ache to use what I've been given to help those in pain

(I am lazy and I spend my resources on superficial amusements.)



I am an adult.


Autonomy nourishes my sense of success as self

(I dream about the kind of woman that I will be when I grow up.)
