How do you describe yourself?

letting your soul be the main character of the show ✾

I once came across this amazing question which absolutely left me speechless. It went like this- How would you describe yourself without mentioning any of the social pointers that society has set up for us to describe ourselves in? Some would now ask what do you mean by social pointers..? Social pointers as in your name, profession, religion, nationality, age, sun sign etc which now that I think of it are just the various different ways we look to sort ourselves into.

Obviously, I did not have an answer then. But this question really fucked up my mind. So I sat down to finally find my answer to this question. It took me two long months (ok maybe four months) to actually frame my response to this. So here it goes-

Hi, I am an emotionally tricky individual. All my life experiences till date have shaped me into a very complex person which I know is true for everyone. I have been subjected to a lot of emotionally fortunate and unfortunate situations over the years. Although, these situations mostly broke my free and loving spirit time and again, I still managed to pick the broken pieces of my soul up and put them back together every single time. I am known to over love, over hate, be overly dramatic which usually is a lot for majority of people to deal with in this world. My emotional intelligence developed way before it was time and I have always been the kind of person to give millions of chances to people who don’t deserve it. If I love someone, I could kill for them but if they make the slightest mistake with my trust, I could pretend that they have departed from this world too. It is safe to say that my heart is very fragile but very strong at the same time. Interacting with all the different kinds of people in this world has also made me realize that just straight up hating people will not resolve my life either. So today, I stand in this position where, internally, I am this crazy hopeless romantic but, externally to the world, I am the overachiever, probably unapproachable mean bean.
