I might be weird, but I have an imaginary statue in my mind that sort of looks like me. But instead of being made of Marble like some Greek or Roman adonis, it is made of adjectives and nouns all stacked up in the shape of me. It has helped me to describe myself, it has made me more confident, more powerful, and happier. You need one too.

Through some introspection, I have learned how important it is to have this statue. To understand what it is about myself that is central to who I am, and what it is that is part of me, but peripheral.

The descriptors within my statue that are most important to me are central, near my core. They also take up more space in the statue. Those less important to me are found at the edges of the statue and smaller in size. You can fit much larger words in your chest than you can in your fingers.
