I can pay attention to details that most people miss like the way a shadow looks beautiful, or the grass bending gently in the wind, how in these moments I can go to a place where the world is beautiful and there are no words in my mind, just pure beauty in that moment. It is wonderful to be able to go to these wordless moments in my world. I cant even explain it, but I get such wonder and amaement at the simplest things and these momemts make life worth living.

I also love my special interests' intensity because they give me a breath of life into my otherwise dull existance. My interests make me, I dont make them.

on the more practical side, I have a good excuse to not be married by now...nor wanting to be wed or having kids and contributing to the overpopulation of the planet by humans.

I like how I have the ability to put a lot of focus into my interests.

Like how I can sit and script code all day without ever getting my stamina drained in any major way. While other people would get tired and only have little time to spend on their interest simply because they have too many things going on at once. And would lack the determination and perfectionism required to excel in one field of interest.

Too bad everything I don't find interesting gets left out completely.

I am also a very analytical and logical thinking person (getting 48 out of 48 right on a standardized and monitored test relevant to those criteria. /brag brag).

My interests are so intense they feel better than an orgasm and they last way, way longer. And I don't require a partner or any money. It's like perpetual cognitive masterbation.
