02


So based on my previous predictions, 1% of people I will meet will be lucky enough to actually get to know me more than what a quick glance has to offer. Those will be the people I interact with; the people who will interpret what I apply to the world in terms of my personality and intellectual contributions.

If I had to take a stab at it, the fruit equivalent of a human persona would have to be its taste. To find out if my moms judgments on citrus fruits held their value, I peeled back the oranges outer layer and obtained some slices.

They weren’t good. The sweet nectar I had been anticipating hadn’t shown itself, and in its place was a sour juice.

Throughout my lifetime I will form relationships with the good and the bad, the right and the wrong. But the point is that no matter what kind of relationship it is, I will simply have it. I will play the role as mother, child, associate, lover, friend, or enemy. They will all be based on my being, and they will all be equally rewarding.
