what i am feeling is right!

i have never realized until this weekend how important it is to not avoid my feelings. my emotions and feelings are so much apart of who i am. some events have occurred in the past couple of weeks that have made me question several things. one being, should i trust how i feel? it seems as though when i question this, a war is waged within me. the more i seek outside advice the more conflicted i become on the in. before long, i was an emotional wreck. i knew nothing; in all honesty i am not sure what i know now. i do know that as soon as i had a feeling that was overwhelming me and i followed it to where it lead me, i instantly felt a sense of relief.

i am not sure that following the way i feel will solve all the issues i am facing right now, but it certainly has made me realize a new approach to figuring out what to do about a number of things. i am so tired of trying to convince myself that what i am feeling has to be wrong. i would like to think that my experience following how i felt the other night has hopefully gotten me back on a the path to working things out with someone i deeply care about. your feelings do not always lead you in the most comfortable of directions, but they do lead you where you are suppose to be.

what are you?

my friend pam sent me this link to swirve.com to take a personality test.

my results:

the healer

you are a rare individual. idealistic almost to a fault, the healer is known for his or her selfless and caring nature. oftentimes a quiet sort, you have a hidden passion for life that no one else can understand. you want to -- and you can -- make such a difference in this world. the question you often find yourself asking is, "why can't other people see this side of me?" unfortunately, that's just your nature. lots of people (who you may resent) go out seeking attention, but you'd rather have it come to you. that doesn't always happen because its just not a perfect world.

people who don't know you might first think "boring" when speaking with you. you know better, though -- even if you are tempted to believe them at times. to those that know better, you can be an incredibly special friend. seek out these kinds of people and you'll find life to be much richer -- let the others miss out on the hidden treasure that is you.

throughout your life, you may face an awkward internal fight between good and bad. your desire to do right is balanced by an equally-powerful need to avoid wrong. everyone makes bad decisions -- that's just a part of life. But when you do something you know is wrong, that stupid conscience of yours makes you feel terrible. oh, the horrors of being a healer.
