I feel so bad for the girl who has to write a profile about me :/
I don’t excel in sports. I’m not exactly passionate about anything. I don’t identify with any specific group of people (I lie about my ethnicity most of the time). I’m not well-versed enough in any topic of discussion that could last in a conversation for longer than 10 minutes. You can talk to me about anything, but don’t get too in-depth or I won’t know what to say. I haven’t traveled the world. I enjoy the mountains, the oceans, and the sky as much as I enjoy drawing out patterns from the cracks on sidewalks.
I am the most boring person in the world.
I wish I could get angry over things like misogynistic lyrics in music and clinics that misinform their patients like my interviewee. These days, the most you’ll get out of me is a “that sucks,” if that. Most of the time I’ll ignore the topic all together and complain about something trivial, like the weather. I wish didn’t believe that a) people will listen to anything, regardless of how degrading the lyrics are and that b) there is always going to be somebody on top stealing money from poor people. I believe that merely refusing to play the music and cutting off the clinic’s funding is not going to change people’s behavior. Because barring some major life experience, people don’t change.
I’ve got a pretty sour outlook on the more “important” issues and I generally don’t participate in their discussions because to me, anything that can be done will never be enough. I know my right from wrong, but I also understand that there is no right answer for some issues. I don’t like to waste my time debating issues like these. I guess this is probably why I come off as kind of a bore and maybe a little stupid to somebody who doesn’t know me very well.
I don’t aspire to change the world or change people’s opinions. I will watch people try and I will be there to listen and offer my advice should they come to me for it. I want to be happy. And I am happiest apparently, with my nose buried in a Murakami novel and laughing over pictures of cats eating invisible burgers.
