What You Get Out of Being a Thinker

The other day I asked my boyfriend how he would describe me to another person.

This wasn’t a test for him.

But it was for me because I wasn’t sure if I’d agree with him only because he sometimes ‘overpraises’ me sometimes. Or rather tells me really good things that I don’t always agree with. Anyway…

…while compiling and sharing his list, he did say something interesting. It got my attention even more so. He said, “you’re always thinking.”

…I was like, “what?” And he’s like, “yeah you’re like ALWAYS thinking.”

And then that got me thinking…

I AM always thinking. Like all day every day. Every single day, I’m trying to think of new wisdom or pieces of information I could share; for myself and for others. At all times of the day. Always on the alert for inspiration coming my way.

And then, I thought something new:

What traits/attributes do I have that I can use to be of advantage for myself and for others?

I started thinking of my personality traits and what I can offer the world through my writing, and then I was like,

‘What about my hair? Why (besides genetically) do I have red hair? like….why would the Universe make me (or rather, I me) a redhead?
