Kindness is the entry point, without it, nothing else really matters to me.
But after that, what makes someone genuinely interesting is a kind of aliveness. are they lit up by something? basically do they live in ways that comes without a sort of template.
Passion about something, anything.
Original thought & high intellect.
People with a unique point of view.
conversational prowess.
worldly wisdom that not didactic. open to interpretation.
Stories of unconventional living.
And anything to do with ART (books, films, art, animation, theatre, music, food, travel, historyetc etc), the making of it, the struggle behind it, pulls me in completely.
A novel project, even a ridiculous one, is immediately interesting to me.
I have too many interests, so almost anyone who overlaps with even 1or 2 of them lands on my wavelength naturally.
Newness interests me. People who are building, creating, experimenting, those are my people. people who dont need me to be their sun. i have a inner life, and I am drawn to mystics who pursue theirs.
im not a sucker for opposite povs, but i can peacefully coexist.
I love this: ‘i have an inner life, and I am drawn to mystics who pursue theirs.’
Sometimes you meet a ‘kindred spirit’ (Anne of Green Gables reference), someone who has entire universes inside their mind, and it’s a privilege to win their trust enough to get a glimpse. Others don’t have that inner dreamscape so are craving for it externally, and that always lands like a heavy burden for me to be around. 🤍
And since I was not able to send my response in said timeline- here goes - Strangers who can hold an entire conversation without the “so what do you do” question or talk about the weather. A sense of curiosity, not necessarily in people or things, but the world at large. And a big one, genuine warmth and compassion for animals. Kind, mischievous, smiling eyes draws me in.
I love that you added compassion for animals. As someone who didn’t grow up with pets, it’s not something I think about. They say animals can sense good energies. I love twinkling eyes too (you have those!)
Super 'interesting;' read. Here are my 2 cents.
