@HolographicUniverse If you click on my avatar, you will be taken to a page with a larger picture, and you can see it better. It is an ass with a map of the world photoshopped on it. For me, it represents the mixture of sides of my personality. I want to be a bad-ass, but unfortunately, I’ve always tried to be good. I want to get all the girls, but I also need to save the world.
Both of those goals are unrealistic, and both have caused me psychological problems which resulted in my being diagnosed with bipolar disorder. Which is kind of what the avatar symbolizes for me now. However, my name is one day at a time. One day at a time is how you overcome bipolar disorder. You can’t plan for the future. You can only handle today. It’s too overwhelming to think about being able to deal with this for more than a day, but for a day, it is doable.
I found the avatar before I was diagnosed, but I think that it still works quite well. I always knew who I was even before I got diagnosed. I didn’t have a label for it, though. And the label doesn’t really explain much, either, but it makes it convenient sometimes, when trying to answer questions like yours.
The world is what I care about most. I care about all the people. Not just those in one nation. I see us as all being in this together. So the map represents that idea, but it is superimposed on the ass, which can be both sexually alluring but also the site of elimination and bad odors and whatnot. SO it’s everything good and bad wrapped up in one.
But yes. It’s an ass. Like me.
