holly_evolvingI used to use the name Platypus. I started in 2002, right after the movie Dogma came out. I viewed myself and my life as a big cosmic joke, and as Kevin Smith says, the platypus is proof that god has a sense of humor.
Well, no more of that. I'm not a joke. I can be very silly, and sometimes irrational, but I'm a human being and worth taking seriously.
I'm an atheist and a skeptic. I don't believe in astrology. Still, birth signs are useful shorthand for consciously forming identities. Holly is my Celtic birth tree. Holly people are supposed to be noble, high-minded, confident, generous, and affectionate. I'm happy to apply that particular inkblot to myself.
As for evolving - I've hit a point where I can see that I am good. I can also see that there is always more room to grow and do better, and I'm going to keep trying.
