The room of my soul...

Now, here's one I think is totally wrong, taken from dargie:

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort. You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it. You believe that people see you for how you are, not how you look. But deep down, you know that's not exactly true. Your near future is in a very different place (both physically and mentally) from where you are right now. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

Inside the Room of Your Soul

If souls and personality are related, that doesn't sound like me, not to my ears. While I am passionate, I am not particularly temperamental. I crave comforort, but I'm not very realistic - I'm the imaginative, impractical type. Grounded? I can't judge that, but I doubt it. Responsible? It depends on what I'd be responsible for. Sometimes I avoid responsibility - like home ownership, for example. I don't tend to tell people unpalatable truths. I never tell lies, but I don't see a need to disclose the whole truth as I see it. I'm not sure what the third paragraph means. If there are changes in my near future - that's cool, that's great, especially if they are good ones!

Love as caring and comfort? Yes, I suppose it should be, but... I'm more likely, I'm afraid, to think of love as excitement and passion and acceptance. Something big and blazing and dramatic. Explosive love, not comfortable love. When I love, I love too much.

Putting aside romantic love and thinking of human relationships in general, I find it only too easy to love almost everyone, but that's something different again - caring, yes, but it's still not particularly comfortable.

As for not falling in love if I do not trust - I think it's the other way around. If I love, I therefore trust. Trust comes with love, it doesn't come before it.

So what do I think the room of my soul looks like? The walls are hexagonal. Against one wall, a fireplace. The oak walls are lined with bookshelves and books of all types. There are three arched mullioned windows, the kind that open inwards with little curly iron hooks at the latch. In the centre of the room, a comfortable sofa, with a small round table for snacks. Writing implements sit on a small matching desk, with a drawer for a notebook. Above, in the ceiling, a glass skylight so I can see the sky - blue sky, stormy clouds, innumerate stars, raindrops. Somewhere, carved above the door (which itself is carved oak) the motto: "Life is a daring adventure."

"You can only fall for someone who is very patient and persistent"... and very dead.

LOL - I am the queen of lovers of the dead. Percy Bysshe Shelley, Mary Shelley, Lord Byron, all those Plantagenets and Lusignans, Frederick II, Julius Caesar, Eleanor of Aquitaine - I have a delightfully long list of long-dead loves. I wonder if they are also patient and persistent?
