So I'm asking a feeling question...
theFox? You are clearly extremely intelligent. I'm curious about how you feel about your intuitive nature...creativity, artistic feeling etc. Do you also spend time on this side of your nature and if so, what kinds of these "feeling" things inspire and interest you.
If you like...

I absolutely love, and highly value, very personal one on one conversations with people I feel I can trust. I can't recall how many in depth conversations with my mother and father while helping cook in the kitchen.
Those are the types of "feeling" things that I love. They tend to be related, again, to a deep connection where I feel I can let myself come out (like I do on this board) and express myself in a congruent manner. These conversations truly energize me.
For other intuitive projects, I'm an avid poet, film director, and writer. I love exploring the beauty of language and the way messages are evoked because of certain words.
I think that, to be a healthy and balanced person, one must recognize their strengths (mine tend to be logical thinking) as well as the things in their life that they know they need: emotions.
I ultimately believe emotions are more important to pay attention to for happiness, and I gain emotional happiness through my logical, as well as creative, pursuits.
I'm a college student at a decent private college (I wish my contemporaries were obsessed like I am--throughout life I've hard a hard time finding people like me to relate to, but when I do I hold on). I'm out on a farm right now staying on a farm and yesterday, after working on a paper for a bit, I went for a walk with my friends dog.
I walked for an hour with this dog, no one to talk to but him, throwing the stick farther and farther down the path. I cannot explain how full of joy I was. I was elated that something so small, like a farm town in the middle of nowhere, could inspire such an emotional reaction within me.
I am a different person from most. I do not believe in god, in a soul, or even a self. But I am SO in love with life. I am SO in love with my family and my girlfriend (I finally met someone who fits and... its just lovely). I love learning and thinking and reading and writing and watching film and spending time with friends.
I think it's very important to find balance and recognize the things that are important and affect you, even if you don't feel them the way most do.
I find this introspection, listening both to your mind and your emotions, is vital to living a happy an long life. I've had many ups and many downs but these days I've been so steadily happy (upwards spiral) and I can't thank Steven and his ideas enough. I really love this rational approach to personal development.
So thank you Steve.
I love talking about these things, please, if any of you have more questions to ask of me, do so.
