– MY CREATIVE TYPE!

I’m the Dreamer!

creative strengths – Connection to emotions and imagination, empathy and sensitivity

untapped potential – Using dreams to fuel real-world action

ideal collaborator – The Innovator 

The world is a place of beauty and magic in the eyes of a DREAMER. Where others see facts and figures, you see symbols, metaphors, and hidden meanings.

You’re deeply emotional and intuitive, with a vivid imagination—the quintessential idealist and romantic. The inner world is always where you’ve felt most at home. You’re happy to roam your mental landscape of thoughts, emotions, and fantasies for hours on end.

You’re naturally drawn to express your inner world through literary pursuits, music, and the visual arts. Think of yourself as the “magical realist” of the creative types: like the literary masters of that genre, you naturally infuse your everyday life with the beauty and wonder of the imagination.

Your greatest gift is your depth of sensitivity and empathy, which allows you to give voice to universal human emotions in a way that touches people on a profound level. Your greatest challenge is learning to balance dreaming with disciplined action—which starts with coming back to the present moment. Let your mind roam free, DREAMER, but don’t forget to return to the here and now. Practicing mindfulness will go a long way in helping you turn your dreams into reality.

Seek out opportunities to collaborate with INNOVATOR types, who combine your lofty idealism with a focus on pragmatic solutions. The grounding energy of the INNOVATOR can inspire you to apply your imagination to real-world change.

I was tagged by @wovencircle ( IT TOOK ME A SECOND TO FIGURE OUT IT WAS YOU)

Rules: Answer 21 questions and then tag 21 people you want to get to know better.

I tag: I tag- uh..... Idk, anyone who is currently bored when they see this. XD

1- Nickname(s): Ardent, Sterling, Ash, uhhhhh.... I think that’s it.

2- Zodiac: Virgo XD Unless we’re talking Eastern, then Rat. 

3- Height: 5′10

4- Last movie I saw: ..... I’m pretty sure it was some horror movie on Hulu but I forget what it was. Been rewatching Jacksepticeye play Life is Strange recently though!

5- Last thing I googled: DIY hair lightening. Because I’m cheap and have dye but want colorful hair.

6- Favorite musician: Why you do? XD ... Honestly recently Bishop Briggs, MAX, Imagine Dragons, and Marianas Trench.

7- Song stuck in my head: River by Bishop Briggs. Specifically the chorus. 

8- Other blogs: *cracks knuckles* here we go. @asktheriftwalkers (OC story/Ask blog), @thequeenturtle (Slightly inactive, but where I post my writing), @aspendust (Hiatus, but a Warrior cat design blog... because I’m a huge ass nerd). I used to have a lot more but they’re all very dead now. 

9- Do I get asks: Not especially, yet again I’ve only recently been active again on any of my accounts. My Rift Walkers blog has gotten a few, though.

10- Following: I’m following 368 blogs (most are inactive as hell and I just keep them as an archive), and followed by 19 people.

11- Amount of sleep: Depends on the day. I aim for about 6-8 hours, but sometimes it’s more, and sometimes even if I get a lot of sleep, I need a random three hour nap in the afternoon because my body just crashes too hard.

12- Lucky number: 7. It may not be my lucky number but gosh darn it it’s my favorite so it’ll be my lucky number whether it wants to or not.

13- What I’m wearing: Dark blue jeans, black concert tee from Mandisa, and headphones.

14- Dream job: Honestly? Being able to live off of my art and writing. I’d love to get to the point where people buy my books and pay for my art consistently. 

15- Dream Trip: I’m not sure. Honestly I do want to go on a road trip around the United States, and see every state I can, which feels rather small compared to some trips, but I love the idea of just me and the road.

16- Favorite food: Pepperoni pizza. Or white chocolate. 

17- Play any instruments: Nopity nope. XD Nearly my entire family is musical and the only thing I can kind of do is sing, and even that has fallen off the deep end.

18- Languages: English. One day I’ll learn other languages, but other things have taken priority.

19- Favorite songs: Ooph.... Can I do fave songs of the day? In that case, When You’re Evil by Aurelio Voltaire, If We Have Each Other by Alec Benjamin, Pretty Lies by Written by Wolves, and Light That Fire by Oh the Larceny.

20- Random fact: My hair apparently follows african american growth lines. Which is utterly hilarious considering if you look at my predominantly German and very White family and the fact I reflect the sun. It also means while I am a basic white bitch I can’t treat my hair like it otherwise it goes-... so wrong. 

21- Describe yourself as aesthetic things: a grove of aspen wood trees at dusk, the smell of an ancient library that’s filled with old magic, smudges of graphite and charcoal against white linen, and a rainbow cutting through a foggy and cloudy day on a mountaintop.

(for the tarot questions!!✌️) the emperor, wheel of fortune, the tower

FRIEND!!! :’DD I guess it’s time to retype this because uh- Tumblr decided to eat my answers. *squints*

the emperor: what are some names that you like?

For names in general, I really like names like Chris, Alec, Temperance, and Eva. However, for a more little known fact about me, if I ever was to have a kid, specifically a girl, I’d want to name her Aria Bell, in honor of my grandmother whom was named Arabelle. 

wheel of fortune: first three songs that come on shuffle?

Kay I actually liked the songs that came up the first time so I’m just gonna reiterate them. I’ll link up the names to the actual song to listen to. XD Widowmaker by Night Argent, Until Forever by Eva Under Fire, Not Alone by Red. The first two are total jams, the last is a bit of a tear jerker XD

the tower: favorite colors to wear?

It moreover depends on my mood, actually? I’ve been wearing more androgynous fashion recently, so when I’m feeling that; Blacks, Blues, Whites, Grays, Darker Greens, stuff like that. 

When I’m dressing up or feeling more feminine; Reds, Purples, Softer Yellows and Greens, Blues, and very limited Orange. XD
