Heart of Everything• Show stories

I should start by saying welcome to me. My name is Kiel (pronounced the same as the unintuitively spelled 'Kyle') and I have a passion for life. I am far from the conclusions one would draw in looking at me. I will surprise you. I have a serious mentality and approach life logically, but at the same time am laid back and will find humor in all little quirks and facets of life. People tell me I have a way with words, but I never feel I do myself justice in describing myself. I think a human life is too complex to convey a full understanding simply by their own words, which are likely to be biased. My mind is a complex creature of introspection, creation, and abstract humor. I think you would know me best by knowing my passions. To me, that is the ultimate measure of a person. It is beyond my capabilities to understand how the great majority of people live a life so absent of passion. I have a passion for all things. Life, above all, is a beuatiful thing. A gift, to have consciousness, to be capable of appreciation and opinion. Writing has been one of the passions closest to my heart since as long back as I can remember. I have a certain fascination with the written word. It's power, expression, and art in the hands of those gifted enough to use it in its full capacity. Simply put, there is nothing I am not passionate about. I care very deeply about all people I meet in my life, I love to learn people. To know people intimately for who they really are, to get past the facade that many people put up to the world. Love is one of my passions. But I will not go into that. I have more words to be said of this subject than I would do justice to simply put in the open for the random passerby to hear. But I am a romantic, sometimes hopelessly so. I think that relationships should be built on trust, mutual respect, and love. I also am passionate about acting, music, photography, learning, travelling, and nature. I have a naturally curiosity and interest in learning anything and everything. I spend most of my free time researching. Everything and everything in between. A few examples: latte art, Quantum Theory, history and culture of native American tribes, the beginning of civilization, the Second Congo War, REM sleep, Gandhi, chocolate (origins and varieties), galaxy formation, serial killers, religious philosophies, coding languages, exotic animals, dreams.
