I really don't know clouds at all

About Me

my favs..
An east coast girl trading her wellies for cowboy boots for a few years (ie living in the west); adore music, writing, taking pictures and the like. I love to laugh, and spend time with people who are silly, witty and laid back. I'm very much a listener and a thinker (if overthinking were a sport, I'd be the gold metal olympian). I'm a perfectionist who appreciates the flaws in others. I value honesty and tend to gravitate towards people who are fairly transparent. I'm on a constant quest for truth, and my purpose in life; there is a constant battle between the dreamer and the cynic within me.
You Have a Melancholic Temperament
Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything.
You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life.
You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you.
Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace.
You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life.
Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times.
At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you.
You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others.
You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult. What Temperment Are You?I'm not much of a sulker, but overall a fairly accurate assessment..
