People pleaser
Linda asked one deep question, namely:
"Do you sometimes put your true-self on the back burner to conform to others or to a situation, and how does that make you feel?"
Am I people pleaser? Sometimes I must admit I am, I do care on my influence on others, I do like to see people happy, so I adjust my reactions from time to time, but one thing is clear, my inner self remains the same, it does not help to alter your own personality just to get along with everyone.
But one thing is for sure, I am not the positive force :)

Motto
"A story is not like a road to follow … it's more like a house. You go inside and stay there for a while, wandering back and forth and settling where you like and discovering how the room and corridors relate to each other, how the world outside is altered by being viewed from these windows. And you, the visitor, the reader, are altered as well by being in this enclosed space, whether it is ample and easy or full of crooked turns, or sparsely or opulently furnished. You can go back again and again, and the house, the story, always contains more than you saw the last time. It also has a sturdy sense of itself of being built out of its own necessity, not just to shelter or beguile you."
