This week’s word is…
Nefelibata
I found this little image on The Berry’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” section and smiled. I never knew it existed before and it sums me up to a T!
The OH laughingly tells me all the time that I live in a bubble, in my own little world, where everything is just as I want it to be.
It’s true. I live in my head a lot.
I have always been a dreamer, an idealist, a hopeless optimistic, a glass half full, things will all work out in the end type of person.
I like being this way. I am sure if I wasn’t I couldn’t write they way I do. I wouldn’t have the very strong creative drive that I have. I wouldn’t be able to solve problems the way I do: I never accept that there is a certain ‘right’ way to think or do something. I will always ask “Why not?” and try a new approach.
I have never felt comfortable simply “fitting in” to any of society’s conventions. I have always lived my life on my terms, according to my principles and beliefs. I refuse to be told how to be, what to think, what to believe, simply because it is the ‘norm’.
I try to live my life with integrity.
A few people have commented on my openness on my blogs and on the fact that I don’t hide behind an anonymous avi on twitter. “What if someone from your real life finds you?” I have been asked, to which my answer is, “Why should I worry about that?” I am not breaking any laws, doing anything I feel I should be embarrassed about or ashamed of. I write erotic fiction that people seem to enjoy and I am pretty open about my sex life. What’s to be scared of? People have sex… it’s life!
I am who I am… this is me, take me or leave me.
So that is me… a “cloud walker”… (what a gorgeous turn of phrase!)
I happily live there, up in my head, dreaming and wondering and imagining, not bound by conventions, mores or norms. It is a good place to be!
Ciao!

“Nefelibata” sounds like such a weird word, but the meaning’s pretty cool. You do you, man. You do you.
Here’s my submission this week:

I loved yours! Very well done.
What a weird, lovely word. I’m not even sure how to pronounce it. To be honest, I think living in the clouds is the way to go – better than watching the news.
I love how you describe your life – so many of us worry about what other people will think and it’s something I’m only gradually letting go of, now I’m mid-forties.
Well done for living in cloud-cuckoo land – room for one more?
My contribution to W4W is another weird word that I’ve only just discovered. Do you ken?

Our post was awesome! I think I might Ken! Hubs and I were talking about it a while ago.
Come! Join me on my cloud! There’s plenty of room!
Ha! Thanks so much. I love that word – kenning. I shall try and slip it into concersation more often.
Are you sure there’s space on your cloud? I do have quite a large arse 🙂
Haha! Can’t see it… See? That’s how the cloud works!
Why didn’t I think of that? Genius! Does that mean I can be a size ten, five foot nine and twenty five again? And a gymnast. Always dreamed of being a gymnast.
Whatever you like babe!
Yes, finally! It’s my time 🙂
Beautiful word Kat! Mine is at http://masterselftherapy.com/backpfeifengesicht-needs-anger-management/
Loved your post!
