Overview

Dreamers walk through an ordinary grocery store while privately scoring it like a film, complete with a soundtrack and a small emotional arc about the person buying flowers alone. You are guided by deeply held values that you would defend to the ends of the earth, even as you apologize for bumping into a chair. Authenticity is the whole game for you; a life that looks impressive but feels hollow is your idea of quiet horror. You search for meaning and beauty in everything, from a single perfect sentence to the particular way afternoon light falls across the floor. Beneath the soft, slightly shy exterior is a wildly passionate, vividly imaginative heart that feels things at a volume most people reserve for emergencies. You are endlessly accepting of others while being privately, mercilessly hard on yourself. The growth edge is the gap between the gorgeous idea and the actual doing of it, since real life keeps rudely interrupting the daydream. But when you finally pour that inner world onto a page, a canvas, or a person who needs it, the result can quietly break hearts in the best possible way.
