What's my sentence?

Books, their authors and their characters inspire me. They appeal to my cerebral nature. At times in my life, I've felt trapped inside my mind, but I've always known that my life's journey would not be one of physical or emotional pursuits, but intellectual ones. I look for experiences that broaden my mind and help me put the physical and emotional world into perspective for me.

One of my favorite authors is Daniel Pink, and his new book Drive has spawned a project for him -- and now one for me. This will be another trip of self discovery for me. This video explains the exercise from Daniel Pink's book.

I can imagine with my talent for verbosity I am in danger of becoming a rambling paragraph with no purpose, and I need to focus and find my sentence. Something else has come onto my radar in recent weeks that has my mind twisted in trying to understand intentions and perceptions. I'm hoping that my project will help me reconcile the two and find my sentence in the process.

So I ask you what sentence would you write about me? It doesn't have to be long or all encompassing. It doesn't have to be positive. I want to learn from this project, and I can't do that by just looking for praise. I am who I am, and I don't want to be anyone else. I do want to understand how other people interpret me, so I can help the world see my true intentions and the real me. I hope you'll help.
