I have very high self-esteem. Self-esteem doesn't mean that I think I'm awesome, it means that I see myself fairly accurately and I accept both the good and the bad parts of myself. Not that I don't think growth and change are necessarily bad things, just that I accept who I am right now and where I am on my path at any given time. There is a confidence that comes from knowing that I'm not perfect and that's OK. That's self-esteem. I am not blind to my own foibles.
Someone asked if we were to have a statue made in our honor but it would be made of an unusual material, what would that material be?
My answer is:Something mostly stable under reasonable conditions but temperamental and explosive with the right catalyst - like C4.
I know I can be a loose cannon online. It started out because I needed an outlet for my anger, and people who connected with the things I was angry about and the way I was angry started following me. So I deliberately crafted "Joreth" to be that outlet, to be the place where that anger lives.
If I were to have any sort of statue made in my honor, the content of the statue can be any number of things about who I am, the things I do, and what I stand for. But if the material is to be something "unusual", I think a tribute to my rage with a plastic explosive is fitting.
