You are a sweet and talented person and it amazes me that you seem to be floating right past the School of Hard Knocks without having been sucked in there for a spell. I'm not sure how you do this. Me, I've got scars from my many terms there. But you have managed to develop some kind of buffer or shield that protects you. This doesn't mean you don't face challenges in your life, it just seems like you've never really had hard times. I think this goes a long way toward explaining why you seem so young to me. I wonder if you are completely aware and intentionally buffering yourself from the cold, creul world, or if you are just incredibly well protected and spoiled by the people around you who love you, or if you are just clinging to your more youthful stages of yourself. I sometimes see you as care-free teen that sits solidly in her sphere while the world revolves around her. I worry that you may be unaware of this. Maybe it's conscious, maybe not. I worry that you've lived so long in your secure shelter that when the hard times hit, you may not know how to handle them on your own. You have a lot of friends and family to help in tough times, but you need to have an inner strength to survive. But, maybe I'm colouring your world with too many of my own experiences when no one was there to help me.
In your favour, you have a youthful enthusiasm and optimism that is infectious. You are bold and could care less for the criticism of those who might try to make you more "normal." I think that is sage beyond your years. You were the only one to dance like a truly silly person with me in public places. You laugh loudly and with great pride. That is profound in my book. That alone could be the key to your survival.
