Get To Know Me #challenge

A fun and easy challenge that I think will be a very lighthearted way to get to know each other a little more.

We all bare our deepest pains in our poetry and weave them into our fictional tales but who else are we? What are some of the things we do for pleasure behind the scenes of our writings? What are some things no one would likely guess about you?

Choose any 10 of your random quirks or facts that come to mind, don’t overthink them! And share in your stories 🥰❤️✨

1. I’m an exceptionally good cook. Sometimes I amaze myself with the creations I can knock together with random and limited ingredients! To the point I’m pretty sure I have sorcery skills when you put a coconut spoon in my hand 😉 My father was a chef so I learned a lot of basic knife and cooking skills from him. Sadly all things I learned to cook well were meat dishes… so at 28 when I stopped eating animal flesh, I had to learn how and what to cook all over again. Which wasn’t fun in the beginning but was oh so worth it!
2. Fun related fact? I get nervous cooking for others. Fear of judgement and criticism seeps into my food and it downgrades my magic. Food doesn’t taste as good as when I cook just for me. My best cooking is always done alone. Usually singing. With dancing breaks. This is the exact reason I hate sharing a kitchen and won’t cook around others. It spoils my food!
3. Kind of related. I have a massive amount of ever expanding knowledge in regards to herbal plants and food as medicine. I am highly skilled at prescribing solutions to aid the rebalancing of a diseased body or mind. The easiest way to say this? I am a healer. I am extremely skilled at helping people who genuinely want to heal, heal.
4. I love watching auditions on YouTube like BGT and The Voice. I especially love singing auditions and I cry a lot watching them. Seeing parents who have clearly suffered so much and yet raised children who are confident, happy, dancing, talented and joyful? I’m sobbing. Hearing a choir of men sing - oh my heart! Sobbing. People who are so under confident and scared, and yet so talented and brave enough to push beyond their fear? Snotty tears! Just beautiful people sharing a beautiful gift that so clearly came from love? Yup, you guessed it…. Pass more tissues!
5. I can’t / won’t sit in superficial conversation and I will leave any room where others are being gossiped about or discussed in a negative light. Small talk is not my thing. I struggle with it a lot. It’s only ever a precursor for me to work out (a) who this person is (b) are they dangerous to me and (c) how can I interact in a way that will lift their heart. Typically (c) is about confidence or empowering them into believing in their dreams / goals. It depends on the circumstances and how much time I have. Sometimes a genuine smile or a listening ear is all someone truly needs in that moment. To feel they matter. That they exist.
6. I regularly give myself massages. Foot massages, Hand massage. Wrist massage. Neck massage. Leg massage. My body is very sensitive to tension and easily absorbs the pain of others. (I have some insane stories about this!). It needs constant love.
7. I have spent over one year now in hiding from the Sri Lankan government after using my social media to speak out for and defend their citizens after numerous brutal chemical weapon and violent attacks by police and military. Now they won’t let me leave without putting me in jail. Apparently the British government couldn’t care less. And Scotland has zero power to intervene. It’s a long story. But let’s just say living with fear has become the new normal.
8. I’m not scared of death. At all. I don’t believe in death. Or at least not death as some permanent state. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. I’m scared of pain, however. Hence I do not intend to hand myself over to confirmed sociopaths who have powerful accusations of torture against them and have proven to me their zero integrity.
9. I love music. According to Spotify I’m in their top 3% of users for the most songs played in a year. Which doesn’t surprise me at all. Music is one of the fastest, zero effort ways to alter our energetic state and program our minds. I eradicated a lot of songs that I used to enjoy from my playlists this year after realising how unhealthy the lyrics or scattered beats were. You are what you eat and you are what you listen to! There is a reason your ears are in the shape of a pregnant womb! What are you impregnating to your mind? I’m now far more conscious about what I listen to 🎶
10. I love to dance. I believe deep down that we all love to dance. Anyone resisting that statement was clearly hurt at a very young age. Perhaps mocked or led to believe they shouldn’t dance. Absolute codswallop. Stopped dancing? You stopped living. Get those tunes on and free that body!!
