And my star sign is...

Let’s have a bit of fun, shall we? I will go over a few of my personality quirks that hint at my star sign. If you can guess my sign by the end of this post, then you truly are an expert in astrology. If not, that’s okay. I probably couldn’t either.

Never call a crazy person crazy. Mainly because they’re rarely crazy; they’re considered eccentric. I’ve never been normal. Even as a little girl, I was called ‘weird,’ ‘freak,’ or ‘crazy’ by my family members, not to mention the legion of peers I came across during my early school years. Those words used to upset me, but as I got older, I embraced my oddities. I’ve even created a book series with a race of people called Freaks. It’s a good time to be weird!

I can’t help but enjoy learning new things. My first job was working for General Motors. My favorite thing to do was watch the robots pick up metal pieces, place them on the vehicles and weld them on. My fondest memories were the building's metallic scent and how the yellow and orange sparks from the welding machines used to shower over me. Sure, it burned, but what a treat for the senses. That manufacturing plant made me realize the complexity of this world and how there are universes within universes.

I suffer from social anxiety, yet I want to help relieve the pain of the very people I’m uncomfortable around. It’s a bit of a paradox, I know. Whenever I’m around people, even close friends or family members, the world seems to grow more distinct. I start to sweat, and my mind and heart race. Eventually, I turn to stone until the interaction is over. If I can, I prefer to be alone to recharge so I can handle interactions more often. Man, am I happy when I’m recharging!

There are quite a few injustices in this world we call home, and it bothers me. It truly does, but getting emotional over them will not solve the problems. The world is how it is, and we should accept it and try our best to make it work for us. I take things too literally, so people have always been an enigma to me. People are just people, not good or evil.

Although I don’t consider myself an intellectual, I was invited to join the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), which was an honor. I am currently attending a university and strive to make all A’s. Sure, the grades look nice all in a row, but it’s the knowledge I’ve gained that is the actual reward. Wow, that sounded corny. That’s how I feel, though.

When in emotional distress, I tend to sit in my closet surrounded by darkness. Getting away helps me to get my emotions out, recharge, concentrate on the problem, and search for a solution. It’s a little weird, but it works. Try it for yourself.

I’m a member of the National Society of Collegiate Scholars (NSCS), an author of fantasy novels, I suffer from social anxiety, yet I want to take part in this world of men, and I despise liars and anything boring. Have you guessed my star sign yet? I was born on January twenty-fourth. I am an Aquarius!

Intelligent, creative, eccentric, problem-solving are just a few words that describe someone born under the star sign Aquarius. Our natural element is air, the symbol of freedom. I tend to fit the description like a glove, and I’m proud of it. My husband is also an Aquarius. He’s a February Aquarius, though. That’s a horse of a different color.
