Are you good at taking compliments, or do you usually shrug it off and act like you didn't deserve the compliment?

I could never simply shrug off a compliment, it's a wonderfully kind and generous thing to receive from anyone. But that doesn't mean I accept every compliment as fact and that also doesn't mean that I don't take great humility and warmth from every compliment I receive.

Opinion on music? What does it mean to you? Any favorites?

Expression and communication, as I notoriously always say, are everything! Without it we are nothing but bags of bones and fluids, empty and meaningless vessels. And I think that the human race is worthy and capable of much more than that!
I am a singer/songwriter myself and take my work very seriously, I believe it to be one of very few tools I can use to make contact with my soul and with other human beings. My genuine aspirations, as a singer/songwriter, began at around about 14 verging on 15. This was around about the age that I felt, within my soul, that I had discovered my true path in life. You see, music to me is like a soulmate, I love my art more than I have ever loved any thing else- animate or inanimate. So the feeling I described prior was the same feeling I had when I fell in love with my ex, it's a connection that spreads from your very core and throughout your body and out into expression. It is honestly one of the more powerful experiences of my spirituality that I have ever felt.
To summarise music and it's place in the world: music is art, art is beauty, beauty is perfection, perfection is the soul and the soul is total communication with everything. Thus music is divine.
My aspirations as a singer/songwriter and musician include being signed to a record label and thus being able to work as a musician professionally and I hope to reach the heights of my idols in becoming one of the most successful and revered artists of all time. But the beauty that lies in all of that is in the music itself and it's magnificent and glorious power, nothing is stronger than the soul and music is one of the most powerful ways to connect with a persons soul.
So, in conclusion, that about answers your question and what music means to me and a little bit about my own aspirations as a musician myself. Below is a list of my favourite artists, though I may have missed out one or two, if not many...
In no particular order I hasten to mention these are my favourite bands:

You do have an artistic personality, I can tell from the way you speak about things. Are you a dreamer? Do you daydream a lot? Do you ever find yourself lost in your thoughts?

I'm actually a lucid dreamer. Do you know what that is? It's the ability to control your dreams and build landscapes and characters and interact with these things. When I am unable to seize control of a dream or when I'm unaware I'm dreaming I can't connect with my 'body' in my dreamstate, I float above it and cannot penetrate and control my own self which alerts me that I am in fact in a dream. As a result I am able to recall all of my dreams vividly as if having watched them on a television screen. I actually struggle to do anything but be lost in my thoughts. One of the issues I have personally is that of mental escapism, but not from reality per say, more from my own mind, from thought. If I could have plastic surgery on my mind then I would because I don't want it.

What does it take to win your heart?

There is no victory in the battle to conquer my heart any more or less so than is the case of yours and hers and his. We are all unique and beautiful souls and I believe there is someone out there for all of us.
But if you feel somewhat connected to me how can I feel the same if you don't step out of the shadows and show yourself? There is no shame in trying, only in conceding defeat without putting up a fight to start with.

What's something you want to do that scares you? x

Fall in love again. The whole process of connection and communication of the soul between two people, at a level so intimate in it's expression and emotion naturally creates a conundrum of sorts; suddenly your whole life changes as does your perspective on alot of things. It's a process that bring us closer to ourselves and to our souls as two become one in the most beautiful way but it also take something from you that you never get back. It's scary, but every now and then it pays off in an incomprehensible way!

What are some of your guilty pleasures?

I have to say, women. Unless I am in a committed relationship, and of course even more so when I'm in love, then I have to be totally honest in saying that the romantic and sensual lover in me comes out on full display and I tend to get myself in all kinds of tricky and sticky situations. I just have such a eloquent and compelling love for women, though my intentions are always pure and benevolent my soul cannot deter from the beauty that resides in so many magnificent women out there in the world.
I hope I'm not misunderstood here or made myself out to be something I'm not. But this is as honest and open an account as you'll get here.

Do you believe in god?

I believe in a higher power yes, however that can't be filtered down to a little man in the clouds with long hair and a beard you know. It could be an energy or a force or a superior being. But I am a very spiritual person and I do believe in a higher power and I study most religions and spiritual practices.
Religion is man-made and has been used to control and to dictate, however the Earth and it's inhabitants are here as the result of some higher being and whatever it is I believe it's in our nature to seek that out and connect with it on a spiritual level.

What's your confession?

Xal
I've only ever fallen in love with one girl (though I used to under the misconception that it had been two).
The only girl I've ever fallen in love with is also the only person I've ever cheated on, ironically, especially considering that I have been cheated on in almost the majority of the relationships I have been in.
I also still haven't forgiven myself to this day for either breaking up with her before I cheated when I really should have for the sake of each of our sanity's or not have got together with her as quickly as we did after the prior relationship to the one I shared with this girl.
However, I believe in second chances and in growth of the spirit and of the soul and I hope to attain each of those now that I am ready, again, to find love.

What fascinates you?

Anything has the capacity to fascinate me, my mind needs information thick and fast and there isn't ever a day when I fail to see beauty. So, what fascinates me most, if you want an answer that's concise and definitive, is beauty.

Does your usual behavior cause judgments from other people ? Why / why not ?

The very nature of who I am and what I am invites judgement from other people but that's okay with me. Art is not art without opinion, discussion, debate etc nor is philosophy and it's many facets.

In your opinion ,which is better .. to answer honestly or adoption Shuffle in order to remain a mystery in this website -ask fm?

Well you must always be honest. You'll notice even the questions I literally have no way of answering, I'll still take the time to say that and elaborate on that as to why I cannot satisfy the question with a wholesome answer. I'm not a prophet, I'm just a human and all I can do is my best. I'm so lucky though that I have a fantastic following and many many of the questions I receive are beautiful and challenging and, most importantly, real! I'm not sure I want to or need to remain a mystery on this or in any capacity in life. If you want me, have me, I'm for the world :)

Does the future make you more nervous or excited?

ThatsSoMeee’s Profile PhotoElena
It excites me now that I see the overwhelming beauty erupting from the pores of the Earth like tears of joy. There is so much to be excited and optimistic about that I now am relinquishing the hope I once had in place of the former.
Power will be restored back into the hands of the people and the illusion of might the superficial world once reigned with is eroding into thin air and will soon be replaced with nourishment and health. Sure there'll be bumps along the road but we are getting ever so close to sanctuary, majesty and ecstasy as human beings.
The hands that, for so long, have been covering our eyes unkowing to the masses are running out of strength to hold them there and as each crack between its fingers are revealed we ourselves gain the strength to cast the deceit away and begin anew on top of the good that still resides in a broken society.
So I maintain, I am very much excited for the future and what it will undoubtedly bring!

What do you identify closest to - atheist, agnostic, or religious? And which religion if religious?

I identify with all of them actually, I've always felt that their is great substance in the content of each of these religions scriptures sharing many, many similiarities. But my stance on religion has always been this: religion is man-made and was conceived to offer sanctuary and community to the believers of each faith, later on it was used as a tool to indoctrinate, control, intimidate and barbarise with. Thus I identify myself, if required to use a label, as spiritual rather than religious. I believe in God, or at least a higher power that connects all of our surroundings and the inhabitants of this space via our souls and I also believe in the afterlife and in the spirit world,
But I am certainly not anti-religion, I just recognise it's failings and the danger of allowing establishments that indoctrinate and preach 'truths' to be so powerful and have such influcence. I also don't believe them to be necessary for God is in all of us and we ourselves connect with God and with nature and the souls of all that surround us on a daily basis. We are also credited with the gift of total communication and thus we have within ourselves the capacity to have a relationship with God and the world and all therein without religion.
Just remember, faith and belief are not the same as religion.

If beauty fascinates you, what is your definition of beauty, then?

I believe that beauty is perfection in as much as it is pure, unfiltered access to the soul. I believe there to be beauty in all of us and in everything that surrounds us and that we set foot on. Every entity encompasses the capacity for beauty and thus we all contain, within our souls, the capacity for perfection.
Perfection is accessible if you're willing to open your eyes and ears to it, once we take our hands away and uncover the truth in all things we see it's true nature, and everything in it's true form is pure. Once we are able to achieve this we are able to open our hearts to it and that is when something truly divine occurs.
That to me is the definition of beauty. Undoubtedly though, this is a topic that anyone, myself included, could write 10,000 word essays on and possibly still not cover the grand plethora of perspective that beauty oversees within and without us.

I am so glad I found your page and made other users notice you, as well. You are simply not made for shallow questions.

Without you I would be nothing but a shell, a bag of bones. Your questions, and all the other magnificent questions I receive from my other followers and anons, are responsible for my success in connecting with so many wonderful, beautiful souls. So thank you eternally. Every word that hangs off your tongue endears me to you more and more as each one comes.
Your efforts will never go unnoticed!

What do you like and dislike about living in England? :)

It's the only home I know :)
I know that this answer is very short and concise but, for me, it really is that simple and that notion will never waver or be subdued. Home is very much where the heart is, I really do believe that.

What's the most disturbing thing you have ever witnessed?

Xal
Murder and attempted murder, if you're asking about first-hand experiences including my own life and that of others having been on the line. But to me any kind of violence is disturbing, we are community driven creatures by our nature and yet we fight and we war and we kill. It saddens me so deeply to see any kind of violence and I always throw myself into any situation like that to break it up and prevent bloodshed, or any further in the instance where I was nearly killed myself.

do you always have to flirt with lots of girls??

No I don't and I'm unaware that that is something i have apparently been doing? I'm just a friendly person in general and I love human beings. It's all about communication, connection and collective progression my friend! :)
