Red, Prosperity & Carmen Sandiego: Try to Keep Up

Journal Prompt: Who the Hell Are You?

If your personality had to be summed up in one color, one word, and one fictional character, what would they be? No fluff, no overthinking—just drop your choices. Then, explain yourself. Do they match your energy? Your soul? Or are they what people assume about you?

Now, here’s mine.

Thrill, success, and a little bit of mystery—wrapped up in one loud, unpredictable, and slightly chaotic package.

If my personality had to be boiled down into a color, a word, and a fictional character, this is what it would look like. No overthinking. Just straight facts.

Color: Red

Not just any red—thrill, excitement, the kind that makes your pulse quicken. Red that commands attention without asking for it. It’s the rush of a last-minute flight, the heat of a packed room, the confidence of knowing exactly who the hell you are. But red isn’t just loud. It’s controlled, intentional. And yeah, maybe a little dangerous.

Word: Prosperity

This is my 2025 word. Not because it sounds cute, but because it’s a whole mindset shift. I’m not here to take scraps—I’m here to claim what’s mine. No hesitation, no apologizing. Prosperity isn’t just about money; it’s about thriving in every damn way possible. Health, career, energy, creativity—if it’s in my orbit, it’s leveling up with me.

Fictional Character: Carmen Sandiego

The icon. The mastermind. The woman who disappears and reappears like a legend. In theory, Carmen and I are cut from the same cloth—always moving, always thinking ahead, always leaving people wondering.

But let’s be real. Drop Carmen into my life, and she’d cry like Mary Magdalene, wipe her face, and book the first plane ticket out. My world isn’t some glamorous heist—it’s fast, unpredictable, full of plans that change at the last second. Carmen thrives in mystery, but could she handle a full inbox, back-to-back meetings, and a social life that’s both everything and exhausting? Doubt it.

The Contradictions (Because I Contain Multitudes)

• I love people. I love being surrounded by them, talking, laughing, getting deep into wild conversations. But I also need a hella amount of solo time. Like, don’t look at me, don’t breathe near me, I need to recharge kind of alone time.

• I crave adventure, but I’m also terrified of it. A last-minute trip? Love it. The adrenaline of something new? Addicted to it. But right before it happens? Panic, existential dread, bargaining with the universe. And yet, I always go.

If You Question My Choices? Simple: Fuck off.

This isn’t just about a color, a word, or a character—it’s about knowing exactly who I am, contradictions and all.

Red. Prosperity. Carmen Sandiego.Thrill, success, and a little bit of mystery. Try to keep up.
