Who am I?

A question so many have asked. I haven't been able to answer this question until now. Yes, it took me pretty much all of 2014 in order throughly defined myself.
I recently read a post that I really liked and thought fit me pretty well:

"She is a paradox, she is faithful yet detached. She is committed and yet relaxed. She loves everyone, and yet no one. She is sociable but also a loner. She is gentle yet tough. She is passionate but can also be platonic. In short, she is predicable in her unpredictability" 

Miss Jaylove came to be because I felt as if my mildly outspoken voice had one more thing it wanted to say. Here's a little of who I am:

  • I consider myself an introverted extrovert (there's a paradox!). I love being around people, uplifting people, encouraging people and listening to people yet I like to be away from people because I become drained easily. I am more likely to spend my Friday and Saturday nights alone because it's a choice I chose to make and I enjoy being to myself. 
  • I am very goal oriented and driven. So much so, that it's caused me to be more mature than a lot of my peers because I'm not willing to risk my dreams for temporary satisfaction. I'm one of those people whose dreams seem a bit unrealistic but then again I am one to keep my word. Everything I say I will do, will get done. 
  • Ever since I was in high school, I was almost always characterized as "high maintenance". But I'm not I swear. I just have always been held to high standards and refuse to let myself fall short of that. And of course the word that follows high maintenance is a snob. I am not a snob at all! Promise. I definitely have my moments but I consider myself a very down to earth person and easy to talk to. 
  • I am very straightforward and honest. I don't believe in lying to a person. My honesty can be one of my biggest weaknesses because some people really don't know how to handle it or respond to it. I just would want someone to give me the truth 100% of the time, so I'm going to give them that. 
  • I have a very strong foundation in Christ. No matter how many times I may deviate from His teachings, I will always go back. That is something that I cannot be convinced to change because I am a product of His miracles. I will worship Him eternally. 
  • I think this will be the biggest shock for people who know me and are reading this, I am a very emotional person because of how passionate I am. When I say emotional I am not talking about crying every minute. I actually hardly cry to be honest. Most people, including my immediate family, can count the number of times they've seen me cry. I deal with emotions inwardly. I will be in deep thought for a while, or you can just tell something is wrong because my attitude is shifted. People think I respond to things in the "I don't care matter" but everything is always very inward and sacred. You won't really know my reaction to an event until the event is completely over. 
But yeah, that's not everything but it's a quick look at who I am. I am always changing and growing but I have found that these attributes within myself don't change. Wishing you all a very Happy New Year! You were created with purpose and you are so loved!
