Uhh, God? ...making the most of every moment. ...my community
This is a mind trick that everyone should do. Spring this question upon yourself randomly and see what answers you come up with.
I'm sorry to say that mine was really, really lackluster. The passion just wasn't there. And that's a problem. If those are my top 3 I should be able to spout them out loudly and proudly at any given moment. "Hi, I'm Melissa and you should know that I love God, making the most of every moment and engaging with my community." Flashy smile. (So key.)
But honestly, my answers didn't race out of my mouth, they kind of tumbled. Honestly, I said God because that seemed to be the answer that I should say first. But I'm thinking about it and God is so generically unflattering. This is not a respect issue. The word itself is powerful (more so than I'll ever really know on this earth), but that doesn't explain anything about the importance of God in my life. To say God might only mean that I believe in a God and I think that God is big and invasive in my life. I didn't say "my daily relationship with Christ which molds the very make of myself" . That would have been a more pleasing answer. e
Making the most of every moment. Yeeeeesh. That one is hard to swallow. But it's acceptable because saying "the way walking by yourself on a beach in Washington state makes you feel incredibly close to the Creator of the beach and your life", or "deciding to drive 7 hours in a day to spend 6 hours with someone on her couch was one of the best compulsive things you've done, ever" is kind of specific and so, let's be fair. This answer is on the right track. It's just dull.
My community.. There are several layers of this. So, ya ok.. community works. There's family in that community. Friends. But I guess it's more of the entire global community (ooooooh no. I sound like the Global Studies student that I once was.). I love the creativity of the people. I love the people. The people drive me nuts, but we're all stuck on this one planet for a reason, right?
So, I'm a little bit disappointed in myself. For the generic-ness and uninspiring part of my answers. And the time it took to say it. But I believe that what I said was true. Hopefully you will too.
May the [whatever you need in this moment right now] be with you, Jedi.
