Alexandra
I lack the capacity to sympathize with those who create chaos for
themselves. Those that duck responsibility for their mess. Those that
cannot find the strength within themselves to live their lives by their
rules. Those that rely on others to think for them.
I am insensitive to those who bemoan lost opportunity due to two
children, a cheating husband, and a minivan that never manages to stay
repaired. I am revolted by the idea of adding to the burgeoning, teeming
population when the environment's sustainability is steadily decreasing.
I know what I want from life; I know what it will take to get me there.
Anyone attempting to bar me from my chosen path would do best to step
aside. I will not step on you, but I will not hesitate to push you
brusquely aside. I do not shrink away from getting my hands dirty. When
I approach an obstacle, I use the intelligence I was gifted with to work
around it. I do not give up, I do not give in, and I do not quit.
I work 50 hours a week, take 24 hours in college a semester, maintain a
4.0 GPA, while pursuing triple majors in Investment Finance,
International Business Management, and Marketing, and triple minors in
Japanese, Mandarin, and Southeast Asian studies. For fun, I learn to
play the piano or violin, study a new language, read Aristotle, or
challenge a friend to a light game of chess.
I do not need anyone to complete me. I am my own person, I know who I
am, and I would not want to be anyone else. If you do not like me, no
one is forcing you to stick around. If I choose to take a partner,
whether for pleasure or commitment, I demand nothing less than the
highest respect, the deepest integrity, and complete autonomy. I do not
take a back seat to anyone, I do not submit or serve, I do not host
parasites, and at the first sign of anything minutely less, I will show
you to the door.
