I’m creative, empathetic, love the arts, am great with people/love people/social, able to respond to “emergency” situations quickly and when it counts most (I actually get calm), a good (to hopefully sometimes great) writer. I find that while I can talk to people easily, when I take the time to write, I can pull out some really great thoughts and insights. I’ve had people thank me for it before and that’s really gratifying.
I’m also curious and love to learn. It’s a never-ending “quest” to just know as much as I possibly can about the things I’m interested in or that even others are interested in (so I can relate to them better.) I’ve had people say, “Just ask her, she knows everything.” I’d love to use that to really become “the” expert though. I’ve always called myself a “Jill of all trades, mistress of none.” It’s a strength to be diverse for the most part, but I’d love to hone that into something a bit “sharper” and without all the “background noise” that goes with it.
Much like you Irish10, I’ve found I can recall a lot of information it just seems to be a lot of it that I’ve jammed in my brain. I’m particularly good at remembering things about people I’ve met and been interested in. My mom always told me I always came home with the most interesting people.
