This is all about you.

Well, what I've already talked about. Art mainly, that's what my attention is usually dedicated to. Philosophical stuff too, I suppose, and that of course ties heavily into art (Good art at least) and always has.

I've always found it fascinating, even when I was very young, but that was before I knew those types of thoughts had an actual name. There were so many occasions riding the bus toward school where I thought about how my classmates around me perceived something like the rainy day. Were as happy as I was about the rain? Did it bother them? For any particular reason, or did they dislike it just 'cause?

That would lead to deeper questions, especially as I got older. Were they happy? Was school an escape from a painful home life or was school itself seen as torture? I know some people would say I could've asked but like I was talking about before, talking to people face-to-face doesn't always reveal the kind of information you're searching for, or even half the time. So I had to speculate.

How things are ingrained in people's personality is kind of a philosophical question, but it's more a psychological one because you could get into the nature vs. nurture debate. Are traits hereditary or taught/learned? It's a tough question to answer. I'm not sure myself. I used to strongly be on the "nurture" side but a psychology class cast doubt into my mind.

"Hahaha so you are biased because you are good at it?"

Lol, that's more than probably accurate, but I don't imagine I'm drastically different from other people. Don't most people gravitate to what they themselves are good at or are at least interested in becoming good at?
