It’s not just knowing about yourself, but it’s also understanding why that is.

I like traveling because it allows me to become more educated about life and people.

I don’t like to be home because it brings back old traumatic memories and intrusive thoughts of pain and anger.

I like to be alone because I feel stronger in my solitude and I can allow myself to think and reflect.

I don’t like to be around too many people because it activates my hyper vigilant mind and increases my anxiety and fear.

I like art, history, and literature because they all tap into my creativity and vivid imagination.

I don’t like math or science because they make me feel imprisoned and I need to feel free.

I like to be with someone who is confident, classy, and can compliment my calm nature.

I don’t like to be with someone who strives for attention and has a level of toxicity that would drive me away….(who on earth would want to be with someone like this?)

I like the fact that I to need to journal my thoughts and career plans so my mind is at ease and not overwhelmed.

I don’t like the fact that I can be stubborn and not be always open to new perspectives.

So…get to know yourself and be careful out there! For society, close friends, and family may try to persuade you to be someone that you’re not.
