Farouche
I like this word.
What does it mean? The dictionary gives the following...
- [child, animal] timid, shy;
[adult] unsociable;
- [look, warrior] fierce;
- [enemy, hatred] bitter;
[adversary] fierce;
[supporter] staunch;
[will] iron. - [adj] wild (untamed)
English: shy - wild
I think it describes me. I am definitely timid and shy, sometimes unsociable. For the right causes, I can be fierce and staunch supporter. And when I know something is right, see my iron will stand. Sadly, there was a time that I have become bitter over friends who betrayed me. But I have learned to forgive them and be free. And yes, I have the tendency to be wild... in the sense that my thoughts and actions can sometimes be unpredictable. I cannot always follow the norm.
In a word, I am shy-wild.
Lion Chaser Manifesto
Quit living as if the purpose of life is to arrive safely at death. Set God-sized goals. Pursue God-ordained passions. Go after a dream that is destined to fail without divine intervention. Keep asking questions. Keep making mistakes. Keep seeking God. Stop pointing out problems and become part of the solution. Stop repeating the past and start creating the future. Stop playing it safe and start taking risks. Expand your horizons. Accumulate experiences. Enjoy the journey. Find every excuse you can to celebrate everything you can. Live like today is the first day and last day of your life. Don't let what's wrong with you keep you from worshiping what's right with God. Burn sinful bridges. Blaze new trails. Criticize by creating. Worry less about what people think and more about what God thinks. Don't try to be who you're not. Be yourself. Laugh at yourself. Quit holding out. Quit holding back. Quit running away.
Chase the lion.

At least shy-wild is better than unsociably wild. Hehe. Me, I'm just shy. LOL!
Shy-wild, introvert-extrovert. Kind-mean. Moi? As mixed up as the best of 'em! :)
