"It happened just like that... I didn't know her well enough and it wasn't something that my heart did every day, to have an illusion and be tempted to want to love her."

The essence of the poetical sense, it may be, consists in being impressionable to the point of losing self-awareness, in getting emotionally wrought up about nothing and moved to daydreaming for no reason at all.
With everyone, I think, memories of early childhood consist of a series of visual impressions, many very clear but lacking any sense of chronology. To write a 'chronicle' of one's own childhood is, it seems, impossible; however honest one might set out to be one would eventually give a false impression, often with glaring anachronisms. I shall therefore adopt the method of grouping my subjects together, so trying to give an overall impression in space rather than by sequence of time.

It is obvious though you are an individual and don’t follow the rules or tradition. You could care less with you DGAF attitude. (I love it) You may have some Aquarius energy or air sign energies, but you’re seen as a rebel. You come off as if you own world and in you own head. Your aura is very powerful and intimidating.
pile2} You are viewed as high energy and expressive. You may have an animated personality which others are entertained by whether through social media or in person but, you have a big following or friend group. You’re seen as creative and thoughtful with your ideas, fashion, style, makeup, or hair. Whatever it is, it’s spontaneous and it makes you stand out. You are talented at many different things and have many qualities and you don’t share your secrets. You like to make it look effortless. Others look at you as successful and confident, very compassionate, motivated, fun, and proud.
pile3} you’re not easy to open up and others may think your anti-social at first, but when they start conversating with you they see that your a very warm and deep individual. you’re seen as patient and calm. someone who lets the chips fall where they may. you’re seen as feminine, and wise, yet full of quiet ambition. they find that you are confident and content in your own world and you don’t need to socialize all the time to be fulfilled. you might be the type of person in the corner reading a book to themselves while everyone else is talking but you’re not a bit lonely.
