I would have said Esper a year or two ago, but since then, we've gradually drawn back from white and dramatically from black. We're Temur now, or perhaps Simic. It still surprises me how far into Green I've drifted without even recognizing it.
anyway I'm interested in hearing your explanations for why you chose that.
Because red is the passion driven SHITPOST color, it is chaotic and doesn't make sense, it is what you feel, even if what you feel makes no sense and has no stability or civility to it, untamed, mystifying VAINGLORIOUSLY INTENSE and isn't afraid to enjoy itself. To not EQUATE ME to those little Red Mana ZIM LOVING LOLRANDOM MUFFIN CHANTING TEENS, for I AM OF A DIFFERENT CALIBER COMPLETELY. Feel first think later. You do things that feel good. You do things the moment you want to.
Deleted the rest because don't believe it at the time.
Blue should be self-explanatory. I'm a nerd who thinks too much about basically everything, and I'm the sort that'll stall on things because I feel like I don't have enough information or can't do it perfectly enough yet.
As for Green, well, in my mind, the most green thing is to simply come to terms with who you are and what role you play in this world. And I've found that's the best cure for what ails me. Better than relying on my blasted whatever-it-takes-to-get-an-edge self-preservation instinct (black) or a network of personal regulations (white). I'm feeling a lot more charitable to my emotional, creative Red side now that I've turned it to less self-destructive pursuits.
The current combination gives me a good mix that lets me draw on aspects of white and black when I need to but without binding either of them to me as a philosophy.
Do you have to be smart to have a blue side? I don't think I'm all that smart but some days I feel like how you described
Blue's not about being smart. Smart people exist in every color, even the classically brutish ones like green and red. Blue's different in that it values being smart in itself and gathering information on its own merits. Compare to Green, which generally turns its intelligence to self-reflection and philosophy, or Black, which turns intelligence to serving its own ends and accruing power, or White, which turns intelligence to the good of society, or Red, which turns it to satisfying its own desires or changing the world as quickly as possible.
Naya. Emotional. Preservation-oriented. Peace-seeking. Destructive and unreasonable, stubborn in a pro-status-quo conviction, dogmatic and inflexibly moralistic. Red Green White.
Also, I live much closer to mountains, forests, and plains, than to wetlands or islands.

Not to backseat mod, but...maybe we shouldn't turn what's ostensibly a self-analysis thread to talking about ex-acquaintances behind their backs? Not like we don't already have the Tvtropes thread for that.

I'm not versed enough in Magic to say so definitely, but it seems like white/blue/green summarizes me well enough

I once tried building an actual deck around some artifacts and it ended up being blue/green.
