apollonian vs dionysian

             When I analyze my personality, I would describe myself as both Apollonian and Dionysian. Due to the fact that I was raised by an Apollonian family, I think I will naturally and psychologically tend to me more Apollonian than Dionysian simply because my mind was trained for so many years to be that way. I tend to be very serious and laid back rather than being hyper and involved in social activities most of the time; therefore I describe my personal temperament as Apollonian. My leisure time is mostly Dionysian, that is because I enjoy spending time with my friends and "getting away from it all", but in the end I would rather be by myself which is the only time I feel comfortable. I think my attitude toward food is Apollonian. I watch what I eat, how much I eat and I try to eat something healthy even though my body craves something unhealthy such as junk food. My ideas of romance are pretty Dionysian. I don't like to plan ahead when it comes to romance, I just act what I feel and go with the vibes for the answers. Religion is not really important to me, unlike most people. I've learned that most people who need a religion are insecure, and I feel that I am better off without one. I'm not implying that I don't believe in god because I have found my own god with the use of entheogen's and consciousness expanders, which have opened my mind to so many more things in life that the average person is to dense to realize, thus revealing a Dionysian trait. I am fully aware that I really have to change my studying habits to Apollonian. I turned this paper in late mostly because of the fact that I was sick but there was also a hint of the Dionysian god that made me not turn it in on time. The artist within me is extremely Dionysian; unfortunately I am not a creative person at all. I don't like to do anything with my hands such as crafts; I convince myself that I am not good at it
