“Who are you?” wheezes the caterpillar, high on his mushroom pedestal. He blows smoke rings that engulf me completely, twisting and swirling their foggy tentacles around my thoughts.
I am hungry. I am sober. I am awake. I am counterproductive. I am oversimplistic. I am words. I am thoughts. I am a notion. I am energy. I am happy where I am. I am a yogi. I am sick a lot. I am confusing. I am a tea enthusiast. I am a dramatist. I am an actress. I am a seamstress.
I am my own mix of Buddhism and Christianity that really completely conflicts with how I live my life but I am working on that. I am in love with James Dean and may or may not have a cardboard cutout of him next to my bed at all times.
I watch TCM more than I watch MTV. I have the combined musical tastes of a grandma, a beatnik, a country hick, and some hipsters. I knit. I write. I take pictures. I have carried with me my little-school-girl love for horses and probably won’t ever shed it. I have only one adjective in my vocabulary that I use to describe everything.
“Cute.”
I am a firm believer that everyone and everything in this world has a story to tell and I try my best to listen to and find as many as I can.
I may be many things, but at the end of the day,
I just am.

“People call me Slava, but my name is Svyatoslav Brodetskiy, and I am in a perpetual conflict with myself. I consistently question things. My music taste is set dead on and dedicated to indie rap artists and classical composers, like Bach, Schubert, and Beethoven. I am registered independent of any political party, because I don’t believe in judging issues from a preconditioned bias. And my favorite fruit is pineapple. “
I love this. Sometimes when I’m bored, I sit and write down things about myself, little blurbs like this. In this post you write everything with a really amazing confidence and clarity, it’s great. And the last line ends it with a great impact and sense of closure. Well done!
A very creative approach to this assignment. Like it a lot.
