About a year and a half ago someone wrote me this note describing how they saw me and to this day I still read it and find it interesting... My question is do you agree or disagree?
Here we go:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
I see you as a pragmatist. You care about the results of something more than you care about what it took to get there. Sometimes, I think, this way of thinking leaves you screwed, but for the most part, it gives you control and something solid to stand on because you are always working towards a goal, and your problem is not how to get there but how long it will take you to get there and how much fun you’ll have along the way.
I see you as a thinker, but one who thinks practically and not wonderingly. There’s a difference: I wonder, you think. You take in the world as a whole, breaking it down when you need to. If it doesn’t concern you, you don’t bother about it. Which is to your advantage. But I think it might leave you in the dark sometimes, which makes it a disadvantage. You consider reality and come to a conclusion about everything. You have it all labeled, filed away, and once you’ve figured something out, it stays that way. You don’t change your mind unless you’re proven wrong.
I see you as a musician, poet, and writer. I see you as creative, but your creativity is based either on humor or experience. You’re humor is in your plays and scripts. Your experience is in the songs and poems. You write to influence but also to get things out of your system because you won’t tell others what you’re feeling unless pointedly asked or forced. Writing gives you control. Music lets you express yourself when spoken words can’t. Music is relatable.
I see you as a strategist. You plan; oh, man, you know exactly what you’re going to do and how, even if it’s only a spur-of-the-moment thing. The words you speak can back someone into a corner, manipulate them into telling you what they didn’t want to tell you, probably even get them to do what you want. This isn’t always bad, but it does suck for whoever you’ve trapped. You play mind games and you play them well.
I see you as a teacher and leader. I look up to you and at the same time I see you on my level. You are good at giving directions and staying focused.
I see you as a woman after God’s own heart. And don’t you dare shrug this off as you read it. I see that you’re passionate about doing God’s will and following Him and holding on to Him when life bites and when it’s going good. It’s really cool to me that you make sure to stick with God in the good times and the bad.
I see you as a pessimist, more often than not.
I see you as a goofball that loves to have fun. Who’d take a dare (as long as it was legal) and run with it. I like your laughs and your sense of humor, your sarcasm, and all the other hilarious stuff you do.
I see you as trustworthy. Someone I know that I can talk to who won’t say I’m stupid, who will challenge me when I need to be challenged, who will listen when I have to get something off my chest, and who will tell me to shut up and get over something when I’m doing the whole useless crying thing. I’m learning you’re not going to freak on me if I dare to speak my mind. It’s a HUGE relief, you have no idea.
I see you as intensely irritating and stubborn. You lead me in circles, you disregard feeling altogether, and you mock people because you despise weakness. It frustrates me that you’re apathetic.
Lastly, I see you as my friend. I see you as someone I want as a part of my life and someone I want to influence me. I see you as someone “worth knowing”. Someone who is willing to stick around for the long haul with the right person. Someone who will help me to grow. Someone who will listen to me and talk back. Someone I want to listen to. Someone who cares. Someone who sees. Someone who understands. Someone to just get past my walls, as I want to get past yours.
This is how I see you. If you don’t like it, work to change it.

And what would be your thoughts towards this or me? Are you brave enough to speak your mind? Do you think I can handle it?
