Well your giant apartment-size fire cube puts my cute little electric seizure cube to shame, at least in stature. But we all know size doesn’t really matter. :troll:

Though your big ol’ cube does apparently indicate you have a rather sizable view of yourself. Perhaps not in the self-serving way, just that as far as priority, you would place yourself first most of the time, you are quite an important person to yourself. Although you might have a big personality, although you might be stress self, you know you are far from flawless, as everyone is, and even though you might put on a show that appears otherwise, you are not the most self-assured either. You are still looking for as many answers to questions as questions themselves, and your cube rotates, aiming to look at things from different angles and different perspectives. It levitates off the ground as well, meaning perhaps stability isn’t a strong suit of yours, or at least not one you have at the current moment. But who knows, maybe if you were more stable, you wouldn’t look for perspective as much?

Though you might put on a bit of a show, mesmerizing fire and all, one could say that would cause hesitations and drive those away as much as it would invite them to get nearer, although the fire might not burn you, you wouldn’t know until you touched the cube, and I wouldn’t be surprised if there were people out there who wouldn’t be in any rush to closely approach an ignited cube, even if it has the ability to transfix some. Perhaps your external show is a bit more polarizing than intended. Or perhaps you purposely keep many away at a safe distance, to observe more than to interact, and only those willing to risk the fire and get close are, in turn, the ones you wish to get closest to.

To further support that theory, it is only the ones who get close to you that can see that your harder exterior, the one that seems evident from far away, upon close inspection, isn’t that hard at all. This indicates something already touched on by us (well, by me) that when others get close to you, should they do more past your seemingly hardened exterior, and your flashy little show, they will find you in a form different than originally perceived, one that’s softer, and not one that will burn you or one that would seem overbearing, as you might think, but a rather warm, rather gentler person. It is a bit of a trial by fire. Well, fake fire I suppose. Still pretty and hopefully shiny though.

Your rather malleable exterior indicates others can leave impressions on you and perhaps mold you a bit, you might change to suit them, bend a bit for the ones who have come into closer contact with you. However this seems mostly like surface changes, as even though your shell might be able to shift, those who get closer and closer to you, those who peel away the softer layers in search of the very inner of yourself… well… your cube I guess, will be met with more and more resistance, your cube seems to be protecting the innermost reaches of itself, just like you presumably protect yourself on the deepest levels, although you can make surface changes, the more you are to attempt to change your core, or the more others try, they will start to be met with a rather rigid and cold hardness, as opposed to warm inviting adaptability of before. It seems like two levels of protection, one to keep those at a safe distance, and a second to protect yourself from those that have braved their way past your initial act to see you on a closer, interactive , and reciprocal level, maybe even an intimate one. Many would give up on their way to the center and turn back, and as they leave your cube it regains its original form, just as, comparatively, you would revert back to your “default” behaviours and any impressions made on you by other now fade as your natural state reforms.

If someone did manage to pry their way to the center of your cube or yourself, they would be met with perhaps not with hostile resistance, but one unpleasant enough to deter them from continuing, and one that would be increasingly difficult to break through. Your cube seems well-enough protected, considering any apartment-sized onion likely has many a layer. However, should they reach the center, they will find a rather small, but nonetheless strong core, one which powers the rest of the cube. It once again seems warm, it seems comforting and inviting, but it’s not for those that might work their way to find it, as removing it from the cube will prove, it’s for the cube itself. Your core powers yourself, it dives you drive, and should someone try to co-opt it, you will lose a large part of your sense of self, and if your cube proves nothing else, it’s that your self of sense is quite important to you, even if it’s not one totally defined, not one that has been entirely found out yet. Should you as a person feel entirely compromised, once your core is gone, you will continue, however you will lose your passion, your dancing firey fire, and everything will be thrown out of whack. That’s why your cube protects its core to the extent it does.


All in all, it’s not an uninviting cube, it’s a rather warm, outwardly passionate and outwardly exciting cube, it’s not a cube that methodically blocks others, it’s a cube that beckons to those willing to approach it, but one that will still strive for the integrity of the cube itself, one that tries to prevent itself from being compromised or manipulated at a deeper level.

As for your “ladder”, although very picturesque, your spiral staircase probably doesn’t meet safety codes. Then again, mine will knock your teeth out, so who am I to complain. In any case, those secure enough when you’re on a step, as they are disconnecting, each independent of the other, it is always a risk to jump from one to the next. With no handrails or any form of measurable stability, it is entirely possible eventually you will stumble from your path and get derailed (hur hur), although your goals seem rather resolute and secure in place, reaching them and keeping on track is always a gamble, and with one misstep you can find yourself off the course and aimless. One doesn’t lead to the other, so climbing them will take mindfulness, caution, and determination, you will receive little artificial support or stability as you trek upwards to an end that isn’t even clear or defined, no matter how much to try to look for it, the stairs keep on traveling upwards. As you see no defined end, seems your choices are to make the eventual drudging climb up, hoping to gain some sort of meaning in your pursuit of the currently unknown and unattainable, hoping not to make a misstep and fall further down, or to break away, and take another door. Though your cube is now being shepherded in the defined path through the staircase, one wonders how long it will stay on its confined path before it breaks away.

Speaking of doors, your room seems to have many. And luckily doors are quite conducive to symbolism, so hurray. I assume you find the doors on the march up the staircase, and instead of continuing your blind ascent, the doors are a different route to take, they all represent another opportunity to take, another place to be. As you seem intent on opening all of them (or most of them), it shows you have an ambition to explore unknown opportunities and find yourself in many different locales. Sure, some won’t take you anywhere in the long run, some are dead ends, the doors that lead to walls. Continuing down some will require some bravery, some you will have to fight through the peril of the unknown and just take a leap of faith, like the ones perched in the sky with an undefinable landing point, but others will eventually lead you to places you thought you could reach, such as the exotic locations, or ones you can only dream of, like the shininess of the stardust in outer space. While your staircase might lead to these, eventually you will have diverge off the main road and travel through one of these doors. The stairs might be a course, but they aren’t a destination.

At first glance one might find the art littered throughout the room to only add to the general confusion and bewilderment, and maybe it would for others, but not for you. You like art, you appreciate art, it’s something you can find an interest it and in fact, it gives you clarity, it’s something that can give you perspective on yourself, something that might ground your cube a bit, and something that believe it or not, guides the way through the rest of the boundlessness of the rest of the room.


While the room might be confusing, the stairs never-ending and the journey precarious, if you keep going eventually you will led through a door you would never be able to unless you stay the course beforehand. However, don’t be afraid to jump through a door and miss out on the pot of gold at the end of the stairs, for all you know you might climb to the very top only to find yourself disappointed at the result, if you even reach the end. In the meantime you surround yourself with things that give you the drive, meaning, and especially clarity (even though it might not seem it at first) to keep on marching, such as art, and even though you might try every door, at least you are the type of person to open the door, and not keep it shut. You might be unsure of where to go now, the stairs seem endless and the doors baffling, and finding out might be a risk in and of itself, you might fall from where you are on your unguarded ladder, you might open a door only to find something horrid, but you still try, your cube continues to rise.

It also makes sense that only after closing a door you should find an animal, your cube shows that you are the type of person to make their journey before the factor of others comes into your intentional focus.

As for the animal, it’s a cat! Once again this is symbolism I can probably manage.

Luckily you seem to have stumbled upon on the playful, well-meaning cats, not the more anti-social and *****y kind. In addition to that, cats are generally curious, clever, astute, and generally can be fairly independent. They’re also a bit mysterious. Seems like perhaps you would preferably seek someone who can challenge you in thought and provide their own take on things, but as cats are, this person would probably carry a rather nonchalant attitude towards debate, and wouldn’t be the type to belabour a point or strive to prove the other person wrong, just someone who has the capacity to speak their mind and be satisfied with their ideals. This cat in particular seems like one not particularly invested in serious deliberation anyway, from its quick acceptance of you it seems more like the kind more interested in being than thinking.

The cat also demonstrates a general feeling of trust, at least towards you, it’d be the type that wouldn’t be phased by your potential initial “display” if you caught its interest it would probably approach you flames and all. Perhaps you wouldn’t even act in your normal fashion upon meeting the cat, its innocence and pure benevolence require little need for walls and protection, it seems to mean no harm. It clearly doesn’t feel threatened by you, perhaps you wouldn’t be threatened by it.

This type of person would be fiercely unfettered by others, they are who they are and they likely won’t change for you, but they will accept you for what you are, they won’t judge you for it, or think less of you. This person’s core is unwavering to others, but then again, they wouldn’t try to change yours either. This person has an interest in others, likely those can collude and add to their enjoyment, but obviously they can be just as content with themselves, doing their own thing.

Their carefree nature and general sunny disposition allows they to look on the positive side of things, and likely to shrug off most kinds of discontent, seeking enjoyment or positivity instead. They seem like the type to infectiously spread their cheerful mood and one who can help others stay in high spirits or comfort those that are down. Chances are they would be adaptable to most situations as long as they could find something enjoyable or something positive wherever they found themselves, which wouldn’t be too hard for them, they seemed to be wired for optimism, or at least a generally positive and serene outlook. They can make lemonade out of lemons.

However, because they are carefree and unpredictable, they can be short-sighted, things like long-term goals and planning for future stability likely aren’t of great concern to them when there are more entertaining and exciting things out there, which they would find fulfillment in. Because the cat seems fairly self-sufficient, continuing to play by itself instead of being preoccupied with you, chances are impressing a more serious and containing regimen on this individual would likely cause them to pull away from you, they are happy as they are and trying to change them wouldn’t be something they’re entirely thrilled about or open to doing. Like I said, they wouldn’t stand in the way of what’s important to you, but they also wouldn’t take you standing in their way. They might be easy-going, and because they are likely a kind and caring person, as well as fairly adaptable, finding a compromise wouldn’t be out of the question, but they aren’t going to be pushed over or tolerate imposition.
While they know what prioritizing the individual means, same as you, the way they go about it seems to be different, they would take the first door that seemed interesting to them, continuing up a seemingly endless flight of stairs isn’t something they would be able to maintain, nor would they want to.

It would be the hope that because you are both individuals who know what it means to be a self-sufficient individual, you would understand that helping a person and changing a person aren’t necessarily the same thing, while you would both be adaptive to changing, it would only be to an extent, should either of you try to change the shiny little core of each other, you would become colder and harder, and they would pull away and distance themself from you. Apparently your ideal mate would be someone who accepts who you are if you accept who they are, they won’t change you as much as they will encourage you, should you feel down or stressed or worried they will probably be able to lighten your spirits and provide you with a fun distraction, a different outlook, or unique insight and do what they can to help, as positivity breeds positivity, but negativity will drive them away. As long as you let them be who they want to be, chances are they will be kind, caring, supportive, and will do their best do help you find yourself and who you want to be.

But fundamentally, you two are different. The cat probably doesn’t know who it wants to be, it’s a cat, but it knows what it is, it knows who it is, it knows what it likes, and it’s content with that. While you might seek out new opportunities and search for meaning, your cube still rises through the staircase, it doesn’t bounce off the walls. The future might look vague, undefined, and maybe even a bit scary, at least you are looking in that direction. Even if your goals might be a bit unclear at the moment, at least you have the goal to pursue your goal. You climb the stairs, you open doors, it may seem fruitless at the moment, but the process is methodical, and as perplexing as it all might seem, there is the eventual target, even if you don’t know where it is. This ideal mate of yours lives in the moment, and is out to enjoy life, and deal with the future in the future. You both find meaning in the provisions of life, but yours at the moment is in the pursuit, and theirs is the simple experience. Your structure and their carefree spontaneity can complement each other to an extent, eventually you might even be able to prudently aim them towards a goal of their own, living in the moment needs balance as well, but becoming too overbearing or dominant will take away that free nature and will cause them to compromise themselves, just as them forcing their lack of organization upon you would be detrimental. Although you contrast, finding the right mesh can complement instead of clash, which won’t be overly difficult if you remember the main similarity you do have, your uncompromising core.


While you put up your increasingly impenetrable interior layers, it’s with the purpose of protecting your shiny little gem, which is yourself at your most raw, undiluted, and vulnerable. Everything else stems from that, but the top priority is preventing that core from getting compromised. You might be a warm, passionate, ambitious person, with some perhaps lofty goals and an explorative outlook towards life, but it all comes from who you are inside, not surface encounters which leave their impacts and eventually mend. I suppose in that regard it’s not that surprising your ideal mate would exhibit the similitude of an individualistic core, and even though they differed from you in many regards, as long as you didn’t take their gem, they would support you in your goals, they would provide you with a more carefree outlook on life, they would be adaptable as well as warm and passionate like you, and most importantly, they would still accept and understand your focus on you, as they know exactly what it means to be an individual. With someone like that, someone so free of malice and suppression, there’s no need to guard your gem so closely, it’s in no harm. Plus they’re adorable. :p

I suspect she did some research and found the "Cube" and realized you got the info from a PUA site.

That being said, she does give you a lot to work with in her response. You can take pieces of the Novel she wrote and use them as conversational pieces, but keep in mind that as a LDR you need to be able to get her sexually charged and thinking about sex "with you" in-order to get the lay. Long conversations via text will put you into the friend zone fast. Good luck, and keep us updated.


Peace...
