how can the "special person" be so special if you're never even met him or her? There's a difference between admiring someone from afar and knowing them personally. For example: I can't say Billy Corgan is special to me because I have never been in his presence. However, I adore everything he does (except the relationship with Courtney Love). I think that I know you pretty well and if you want someone "to walk away with an understanding of your essence," you should approach the situation with the feeling that if you feel strongly about the person, then hopefully they will take some time in the encounter to learn who you are. What you have to tell yourself is, "This person is not out to destroy me so I can feel free to say whatever I want about myself and then they will listen." Hope this makes some sense.
This wasn't a question about me, it was about you. I understand what you mean, (enough to disagree). The point of this was not to actually come up with something that exudes your essence in a few words. I know that is impossible. Rather, it was to stimulate inner thought about who you are. The fact that this cenario is impossible and altogether a bit kooky is besides the point. All I ask is this: are you a collection of facts, brown hair, size 9 shoes etc. Or a presence that transcends objects? If you are more than your shoe size, (which I personally know you are) than is this essence something you can communicate? If so, how would you communicate it? I get the feeling that your answer is that essence isn't tangible enough to communicate, (and on this I agree). But at the same time, if we cannot communicate who we are than does anyone "really know" anyone else? I guess, this is what too much existentialism does to me... thoughts?
