“I see myself as quite a closed off person. I’m not supersticious or into all of that star sign thing, but I think that I do kind of fit the personality of cancer. Like cancer the crab, I put up a guard when meeting new people or even getting to know them better. Its all a stratagy to stop people finding out about my squidgy insides and destroying them.So I’m generally very emotionally guarded and it takes a while for people to crack in there. I also don’t like to fluster myself with unnecessary feelings and opinions. Opinionated people get on my nerves. No one really knows whats going on inside my head, and when they ask, I don’t say what I’m really thinking. Only the people who know me really well know what’s going on up there, and they don’t even need to ask. I dont think its a bad thing or a good thing. I like the way I am.

Recently, I’ve noticed my guarded nature more and more, and have tried to align my outside self with my inside self, and put down my guard from time to time. As a result I cry at sad movies and people can now tell when I’m sad or angry or happy. I’m happy most of the time anyway. so that’s what people ususally see. This new kind of ‘alignment’ has made me a more confident and outgoing person…I think.

I’m a happy go lucky person. I very much rely on things to happen around me. And things do. It is because I know the secret…

To sum up, I dont think I actually answered the question. I think I’m a work in progress. My head isn’t sorted out. It is still changing and growing into what I would think is the best it can be. I don’t think your identity is based on your job or what you look like or where you’re from. I think it’s more to do with your mind and what’s going on in that old ticker.”
