A Whirling Dervish (Podcast)
Have you ever heard of the term whirling dervish? According to the urban dictionary, it's a term of endearment for an energetic, bouncy person. It can refer to someone that is messy and chaotic, you know, but - in a cute way.
Messy and chaotic can be cute - but it can also be a telltale sign of someone who is living a life focused on what's truly not important.
