Let’s have a closer look at the type five personality inventory of thge enneagram:

• I find it hard to express my feelings in the moment.
• I get lost in my interest & like to be alone with them for hours.
• Brash, loud people offend me.
• I find conforming distateful.
• I feel different from most people.
• I feel invisible. I get surprised when people notice me.
• I don’t look for material possessions to make me happy.
• I am motivated by the need to know & understand everything, to be self-sufficient and to avoid looking foolish.
• I assume a poker face in order not to look afraid.
• I need time alone to process my feelings and thoughts.
• If I seem aloof, distant and arrogant, it may be because I feel uncomfortable.
• If I become irritated when I have to repeat things, it may be because it was such an effort to get my thoughts out in the first place.
• I might doubt your sincerity if you welcome me too intensely or come on like a bulldozer.
• My pet peeves are: big parties, other people’s loud music, overdone emotions and intrusions on my privacy.
• I tend to speak in a brief and straightforward manner.
• I am typically calm in a crisis.
• I can be cynical and intellectually arrogant.
• I base my decision on what I think is right, and not on what other people think.

Wow. These are all so ME. =)

The past few days brought about a heavy downpour and caused a week long vacation. It was a much needed break from all the things that needed to be done at work and with my thesis. Yet, there’s something about rainy days that make people go wistful and uncontrollably melodramatic.

Maybe it was the cold weather..or the trickle of raindrops that makes the heart wander and create clouds of memories in the head. Are there any regrets over the things that have come to pass? Of course not. But still, there’s a slight kick in the gut as we look back on the things that have been done, what could’ve been and words that were left unsaid.

But it’s over. Just like the rain and the storm. Another day has begun. It’s time to face forward and embrace the sunny days ahead.
