I said; Mother, Mentor and Uncle. I would have put sister too.
My mum is like me in that she is essentially an inward person. She takes everything in and stores it and files it somewhere inside of her. People think she is stupid but she isn't. She is unlike me in that once it goes in it stays in, I let rather a lot out again. I also don't think I'm stupid, but that is because mum has worked hard at telling me I'm not.
For mentor, I don't know if this means something formal or whether it means your own personal Mr Mayagi. I have a mr mayagi, i do not know what he does for a living, but he seems to make a living going around troubleshooting for academics. He's clever and funny, and has travelled the world and is still an optimist. He is also a great teller of anecdotes - I want to be like him.
And my Uncle. He used to be in a punk band, now he owns a posh-ish house with a goat in it and another in the south of france. asically he lived to laugh - and so I envy him that and identify with the sentiment, even if I can be quite grim sometimes.
I was actually going to make a post about my sister. We are very close. we share our own culture in many ways that no one else understands. I'm beginning to wonder whether she's an androgyne but doesn't know it.
Anyway, here is us together...
