This felt like someone finally naming something I’ve known intuitively but never had the words for. I’ve always felt like my “personality” shows up most vividly in the things I’m building, exploring, or quietly obsessed with—less in the traits I score high on, more in what I keep returning to even when no one’s watching.
It’s freeing to think of ourselves not as static types, but as people in motion—shaped by the paths we walk, abandon, return to, or reimagine. I really resonated with the part about how some projects burn bright and end, while others simmer in the background until they’re ready to bloom again. That’s been so true for me.
Thank you for writing this—it gave me a new lens to reflect on the season I’m in.
Thank you so much for your loving note Ariel! I am so grateful to see that this post and philosophy resonated with you. We are really shaped by the paths we walk (backed by research too!) — so go walk your paths and be that awesomeness that only you can be :)
