I did the first three in one day cause I was excited. But I was really thinking about today's, because I have a lot to say.

Day One: Ten things you want to say to ten different people right now
Day Two: Nine things about yourself.
Day Three: Eight ways to win your heart. <<<also ALSO today
Day Four: Seven things that cross your mind a lot.
Day Five: Six things you wish you’d never done.
Day Six: Five people who mean a lot (in no order whatsoever)
Day Seven: Four turn offs.
Day Eight: Three turn ons.
Day Nine: Two smileys that describe your life right now.
Day Ten: One confession

----

1. The Drive to be Honest in the Face of Adversity
"I gotta be honest. It's important to be someone that others can rely upon. Without honesty, there's just fiction, and not even the fun kind! The kind that hurts and harms and makes problems for everyone for the sake of one individual's selfish goals. Oh great, here I am presented with an integrity challenge at work again...just tell the customer the truth about everything and let them decide...company policy wants something else? They already have my time! They want my integrity too?"

2. Bringing my Imagination into the World for Others to Love
"My body and personality are templates, really! Oh, you wanna believe in the wondrous?...TA DA! A unicorn! Why the long face? You act like you've never seen one!...I can be beautiful too. Just look at these ravishing locks...And wow, how to show you my speed? Catch me if you can! Let's run all the way to a new world together!"

3. Analyzing the Addictions I see Advertised for Others
"Why would you do that? I get it, but if you keep focusing your life on having others validate your self worth through money, power, sex and attention, you'll just end up a used husk. You can't let an addiction overpower you!...Okay, I get that you're allowed to do what you want...I just found these keys to make it past so many traps. You don't want me just to show you a little way to make life easier?...All right. Maybe I'll meet you over there in the distance...

4. Apologizing and Interacting with Characters I'm Writing and Have yet to Continue Writing Much About
"I'm so sorry. I've been busy...yes, it's not all necessary, but you know how tough things can be. I want your worlds to make sense, be amazing and have all the depth and majesty of old tales brought into a new light...yeah, if I don't keep writing, I guess that won't happen...I know you want to live. I haven't forgotten you...I miss you too."

5. Wondering If and When Something Amazing Will Ever Happen in my Life in a Way That Fantastic Stories Talk About
"If only a door, or portal, or grand walkway between this world and that ever-present place of promise were to appear. Some grand event. Some marvelous act of creation. Take me from this world, O universal way! Lead me to the realm of things still unseen in quiet splendor and natural beauty. Let me show others possibilities that life doesn't have to be minor fare by any means! Just a taste and then give me the recipe so I can recreate the banquet for others. First inferior, then with practiced skill comes the ever-growing acceleration towards my own epiphany that I can make for others. Don't fail me now, promise door!"

6. How can I truly Help Everyone?
"Though my life is often uncertain and I don't know where to go, I know that when you all are with me, I will always have someplace worthwhile. Words may fail me sometimes (and such a thing to say for a writer), but my love will always express itself. I truly do love you. All of you. And I know your flaws and your perks and the many ways you try. I'm right here with you. Maybe you'll see me standing there next to you. Maybe you'll never know what I've done. But my heart is decided. And humanity is my love. And whatever exists beyond it...though humans may one day be gone from the face of this planet, whatever comes after must not give up on goodness and rightness."

7. The Eventual Final Day
"One of these days, I will die. My body will not go on. My mind and all the biological processes will eventually grind to a halt, and the cycle of decay will give rise to new life. I'm not sad about this. I often wonder what will happen to my perspective, because regardless of belief in afterlife or no afterlife, something happens to the mind, the body and the perception of the individual during those final moments. I will see this world, and then not see it. No one else but me will be able to see this perspective shift. And regardless of the particulars of the process...

...it will be unlike anything I've ever experienced before.

And humans and animals and plants and air and all of matter were once part of the formation of the universe. We were all once part of stars. And from the stars I came and to the stars I will return. How that return occurs...well...guess I'll find out one day.

And that's okay with me. : ) <<< (confrontation of mortality smiley)
