The Naked Truth
I'm guessing that's the title of a song I heard in the gym this afternoon. It was about a girl discussing all the things she had gone through in high school and how her parents were basically clueless. Heh.
Anyway, it got me thinking. Naked Truth. What is one's naked truth? As we know, Truth is subjective and stem directly from POV. There is a distinct difference between truth and facts. Facts can be supported by outside evidence. Truth comes from within and cannot always be supported. So, with that in mind, what is my naked truth?
I know very little. I have made several big mistakes, countless little ones and I'm still learning from them. I am inherently lazy, selfish, and petty. I despise myself when I display those traits and others when they do the same. I work constantly to rise above those faults and I don't always succeed.
I am a perfectionist. I take my duties seriously, even if I don't fulfill them for various reasons, and it angers me when others try to palm off their duties on me or don't share my attitude on duties. Housework is my biggest foible, especially if I'm home full time. I get cabin fever easily and cannot find satisfaction in doing dishes, vacuuming or laundry.
I love easily and with varying degrees. I will do what I can to help out a friend with little thought to reward. I enjoy sharing my gifts and what knowledge I have with others, be they friend, co-worker or stranger. I have two best friends and several close friends, all of which I consider extended family.
My childhood wasn't bad, nor was it great. It just was. I learned much and had to unlearn much once I got to the real world. It is the source of my eating disorder, my vivid imagination and my creativity.
I am petite, underweight and have a bad back. I'm fighting carpal tunnel with braces. I do yoga to strengthen my back, my muscles and my mind.
I am a Witch. I believe in the Rule of Three, the Rede and duality in Diety. I work magick when there is need. I have fairies, I have felt dragons, I have wept for men long dead and I have been threatened by a mage. The dead have visited me in various forms. I have looked into the eyes of Wolf and seen the distant past merging with the now.
I am pro choice, pro gay marriage, anti gun control, anti big government, anti death penalty, pro enviornment, pro flat tax and anti big corporation. I am a moderate who looks at views and policies rather then party affiliation and will vote for either camp. I get my news from MSNBC, FSTV and NPR.
I often find myself disgruntled about being poor, but I do not wish to become independantly wealthy. I would prefer to live a simple life off conventional power grids and run a coffee shop, where the only bills would be for phone and internet, food we can't grow ourselves and supplies for home and shop. The best case scenario is a community around me that will gather in my shop for discussion, debate and parties, a community that wouldn't blink an eye if Wolf and I did a full Ritual outside skyclad and hopefully would join in. A yearly income of 50-60K, gleaned from the shop and whatever Wolf decides to do would be perfect. This way, we can indulge in eating out or shopping for retail or movies with all the trimmings if we wanted to.
That's not all, but it's enough for now.
