🎶 Quixo-what?? 🎶
Quix·ot·ic /kwikˈsädik/ 1. exceedingly idealistic; unrealistic and impractical 2. Referring to Don Quixote
My last name is Quixtan (a Mayan name in the K’iche tribe) and this word is the best description of my strength AND weakness. I often find myself having these grand ideas that are unrealistic and impractical to most people. I hope to look back one day and smile at the unrealistic experiences that I was able to have because of my ability to see the world in a different light.
Ar·ti·san /ˈärdəzn,ˈärdəˌzan/ 1. a worker in a skilled trade, especially one that involves making things by hand.
One of my life purposes is to create and I have chosen a life of artistry. Music, cooking, art, video, and whatever interest me that day allow me to continuously create and embody the idea of being an artisan.
