Lavene and Mayfield: 10 Steps To Fashion Freedom - Personal Statement

MY PERSONAL STATEMENT

According to the book, this is how I want to be percieved. Well, how I want to be perceived is partly how I'd like to become and partly who I truly am. That said, I'd like to be seen in the following ways:

Strong
Confident
Capable
In Control
Independent

The best word I can come up with for all of that is "Self-Contained"

I feel that I am, for the most part:

Compassionate/Loving/Caring
Giving
Understanding
Tolerant
Nurturing/Helpful

I suppose the best word to use here is simply.... "Compassionate"

I also see myself as:

Creative/Artistic
Unique/Individualistic
Sensitive/Aware
Sensuous
Curious

The only word I can really think of to encompass all of those words is "Aesthetic"

So.............
I want to project a self-contained, compassionate and aesthetic image.

Self-Conatined and the first group of words, makes me think of Classic.

Compassionate and the second group of words, makes me think of Romantic.

Aesthetic and the third group of words makes me think of both Romantic and Creative.

Do I have a Classic, Romantic and Creative image??

Perhaps I have not chosen the best final words to describe myself. (?)

Actually................

The first group of words and Self-Contained/Classic is what I desire to become because I feel it will help me/benefit me in life.There are certain aspects of Self-Contained/Classic that I have always had but I would in no way, whatsoever, deem myself to be Self-Contained/Classic.

The second and third groups of words of Compassionate/Romantic and Aesthetic/Creative are what I truly am inwardly, and always have been since childhood. That is my true self.

I learned through this book that, romanticism and creativity have been a constant throughout my life, while other aspects of being have come and gone.

I have *acted* and dressed the part of: a dramatic/flamboyant, gamine, sophisticate, etc, etc., and although there may truly be aspects of those types within me, none of them are my true being.

I am an idealist and am sensitive and sensuous.... a Romanticist (not to be mistaken for a sappy, love-lorn romantic ;P).

I had actually realized that prior to getting this book and that is why I created my blog and called myself an Aesthetic Romanticist.

We often times in life, for whatever reason, hide our true selves - I have done so for protection, we live in a cruel world and I came from an insensitive home. I had to create a character to play, as far back as high school, in order to survive in the ignorant, selfish, uncaring society in which I feel that I live. However, I need not hide any longer. The mean, ignorant turds that want to make fun of my heart and emotions, my deep caring of the Earth and all that reside on her, my views on how life should be and how people should behave, can kiss my ever loving ASS!

And I say that with kindness and compassion for all of societies turds. :D
