Because this is something that might come up quite a lot over the course of this, well, course, I thought I'd take some time to explain a little about my Gloria.
In my path, one creates a mental personification of their "inner self," or in other words, their subconscious mind. Mine takes the form of a woman, who looks about 19-23, with long black hair, blue eyes, and larger breasts than I have.
On one hand, I named her Gloria after the character sung about in Green Day's newest album. On the other hand, she named herself with her own firey gusto. Like the character I/she/we pilfered the name from, she's a one-woman riot, a lover and a fighter, a perfect balance of warrior spirit and hippie ethic. Did I say perfect? She's far from it, and she knows it - and that's what makes her real. I know I'm never going to be perfect, she knows I'm never going to be perfect, so perfection is a silly goal. Gloria herself? She's something I can strive to become, and probably even succeed.
After all, she is me.
If we wanna bring some more music into is (and why the hell not?), I am s/he as you are s/he as you are me and we are all together.
Right?
