You are a fighter, you tell your friends from Martial Sport, and they don’t doubt you because you do fight with them, weekly, on the tatami.

-

You are a worker, you tell your colleagues, and they believe you because at work, you are always focused on getting things done.

-

You are a listener, you tell your best friend, and you are because you do listen every time she needs you too.

-

You are silly and funny, you tell the friends you made at a party years ago, and it’s true, because whenever you go out together, you laugh and joke and they never see the sadness in your eyes.

-

You are a dreamer, you tell yourself, when you are writing and secretly hoping that one day you’ll manage to write a book everyone is going to buy and love.

-

You are insecure and scared and sad, you tell your other best friend, and she knows and hugs you and tells you you are awesome too.

-

You are loving and caring, you tell your boyfriend, and he hums in agreement when you caress his body and place gently kisses on his mouth.

-

You are all that you tell everyone you are, and lots more, when you look in the mirror and stare into your own eyes.

That's a wonderful format--I've always wondered how to pull a pointilism-style entry off and this is really compelling.

It sounds like she's struggling a little finding a balancing point, though... or like she can't quite get centered. I'm curious how that plays out with her own sense of self.

This is clever - a very insightful little vignette.

FUCK YEAH FREYA. She holds it together even when everything sucks, and this is such a great character sketch. I kinda wanna borrow the format.

And more, and so much more.

Such a good format by the way, it's great to read.
