A: Depends on the person. What might be appropriate to tell one person upon first meeting may not be appropriate to tell another. Everyone is different.
A: How I think.
A: Personally, I'm aware of the transitory nature of life, and I can empathize with people.
Physically, well that's for me to know and for you to find out. ;)
A: Healing, soul deep sex.
A: I'm half Puerto Rican, and I come from a mixed race background. I like to share this information because I want others to know that people who look like me exist!
A: Although I am White appearing, I'm half Afro-Latino, half White. I don't like when clients refer to me as White. Without the Black, Hispanic, and Indigenous, I don't exist.
A: I love learning languages, studying psychology, and writing. Right now, I'm learning Brazilian Portuguese. It's been a bit of a challenge, but I'm thoroughly enjoying it.
A: I don't. Hahaha! I feel that the world has become too competitive and that too many people are being told or left feeling that they're "not enough."
My form of rebellion has been to stop trying harder.
A: I've had several. If I could top it off, acting on stage has been my best experience in life thus far. Tapping into another character's energy to tell a story is exhilarating.
A: Food, a functioning nervous system, oxygen, sodium, and water. Hahaha! I'm just kidding. I know some of you reading this might be thinking, "Smart ass!" to which I say, "Better than being a dumbass!" *Big smile.*
I can't live without love. In fact, more research is confirming that as human beings, we can't live without it. In an article from The Guardian, Dr. Stephanie Cacioppo, a neuroscientist at the University of Chicago, mentions that love is a biological necessity.
I also don't think I could go without exercising. I start to become antsy and irritable when I don't exercise for more than a week.
Having social connections is vitally important as well for me. In a 2014 report from 60 Minutes, "Living in your 90s", which examined what contributed to a long, healthy life among senior citizens, socializing was one of the key factors.
I'm also finding that I don't do well without sex in my life. (In other words, I could never be a monk. Hahaha!) Sex is energetically and physically revitalizing for me.
A final thing I don't think I could live without is being able to get away from time to time. Traveling is what feeds my spirit.
A: I enjoy bars, comedy clubs, dancing, and traveling.
A: My dedication to going to the gym, keeping my mind active by learning new things, and watching what I eat is why I still have the same energy at 30 that I had when I was 18.
A: I go to the gym five times a week, and my diet plan is love your body, move more, and get eight hours of sleep.
A: I travel as often as I can.
A: I love the fact that I love to enjoy life and that I genuinely want to help people.
A: I understand that not being able to be who we are is still a reality for some of us. Whether you're part of a culture that is vehemently against homosexuality, you fear that you would lose out on a promotion at your job, or you could face violence if the people in your life were to learn about your sexual orientation, I get it. I want others to know that I understand why someone may still be in the closet in the 21st century.
One aspect aspect that I love about my job is I get to help people feel better. Maybe they just want somebody to hold, to mess around with, to talk to, or to touch them in a way that they rarely ever are. I get to be that person for my client. Sometimes, at the end of a session, I'll hear, "Thank you. This was therapeutic." Even though I'm not solving their life problems, I'm providing a moment of intermission that they can find solace in. It's a privilege to be able to help people on a deeply intimate level.
