I've been told before my interests and my tastes are all over the place. In kind words I've been called 'eclectic' and in not so kind words 'why can't you just make up your mind?'.

The reason in short is simple to me. There is so much to life. So many different cultures, languages, places, options, etc. The world has so much to offer. Why would I put myself in a box and limit the short years we have in this life? I'll never understand people who have a short list of foods they actually eat, listen to one type of music, watch one genre of television, who never leave their own mental backyard, who diss people who speak more than one language. I'm not judging them, I simply don't understand it. Why keep yourself on such a short leash?

When my soul and body decide to part ways and I go back into the universe or whatever awaits...I want to have tasted as much as I can of life. I want to open my arms and embrace life. I want to know my experiences were as much alive as I was. I'm passionate about growth.

I'm a Pisces and as such a typical water sign. I like to ebb and flow. I like to move. I hate stagnancy. That also goes with the whole AuDHD aspect of my mind. I get itchy. My brain gets hungry.

I believe in the power of connection. If I only stay with people like me I'll always be comfortable. Never challenged. Never at odds.

But I'll starve...

I want to know you and I want you to know me. I find myself constantly reaching out. So I watch shows that require subtitles. I eat food I have difficulty pronouncing. I go down music rabbit holes on YouTube. I want to be in hundreds of places at once. I love life. I love learning. I love growing. Call me eclectic. Call me indecisive. Maybe I'm all the above. But I know I wouldn't change it.
