The Wandering Scholar
You are someone with a genuine curiosity about life that most people lose very early on.
Description
You are open, exploratory and genuinely interested in the world around you. You ask questions others do not think to ask and you have a quality of aliveness to you that comes from never quite settling into the comfortable and the predictable. This can be misconstrued as difficult or challenging as you struggle to silence this innate desire to ask “Why?” and constantly dive below the surface so many people are happy to bob along on. You have seen more, thought more and experienced more than many people and it shows in the way you engage with things.
The tension is that the open road is brilliant for discovery and difficult for arrival. You are good at moving and good at exploring but the question of where you actually want to land, what you want to build and who you want to be when the movement stops has not yet been fully answered. Movement and direction are not the same thing and occasionally the freedom of one is being used to avoid the commitment of the other.
This is not about stopping or silencing that beautiful mind but instead turning those questions inward and through self understanding, discovering which direction you want to be heading.
