Can someone teach me how to put:

• Classy Dame
• Gallant Lady Knight
• French Résistance Fighter
• Utena Tenjou
  
• Selkie

All into one or a couple of cogent outfits? Because basically I want to present all of those things at once and it’s hard so basically I just stick to skinny jeans and tank tops.

Slowly coming to terms with certain aspects of my personality.

I am not maternal or a care-taker. I probably never will be. That saddens me. I’m not the person people come to when they want comfort or affection. 

I’m fiercely protective, I’m a problem solver, and I will be the first person to get angry for you and grab my shield and sword if someone has wronged you, but when it comes to emotional support I’m lost for words. I’m not the person people want to cry into the shoulder of.

Can I just have beautiful armor to wear
and a personal banner
and crest
and sword
and Destrier?

Just let me be a lady knight, okay?

I recently challenged myself to try and make my internalized list of values tangible.

I figured I might post it here for a lark. Essentially these are the traits I try to live by (try being the operative word). I’ve also added what each word means to me or what I think it encompasses since everyone interprets things differently.

• Honor - Integrity. Fidelity. Being true to one’s word. Fulfilling one’s duty. Maintaining a firm sense of justice as well as right & wrong.
• Noblesse Oblige - “Nobility is as Nobility does.” Chivalry. Valor. Gallantry. Behaving in an almost chivalric manner in respect to others.
• Decorum - Politesse, Elegance, Grace. Having self-restraint equal to all situations. Especially in the presence of those who display none.
• Humility - Deference to true authority. Modesty. Respecting others. Recognizing one’s limits. Knowing when to ask for help.
• Benevolence - Kindness. Compassion. Warmth.

(It would appear, after writing this all out that I’m aiming to be a Lady Knight or a Prince or something. That about sums it up actually…)
