I don’t know if I am “water” or not, but I can certainly relate to much of this post. You gave me points to ponder, especially in the area of taking control. I love the way you concluded the piece…drawing up the water analogy again. Brilliant!

I found a book online called The Five Elements by Dandi Dahling. And another called The Five Archetypes by Carey Davidson. I don’t know if either of those were it, but they probably have some of the same ideas.

I have no idea which of those five types of persons I am (actually, a 6th grade girl once assigned me as the wind when she was giving all the teachers there at that time an element name; she might be right.) But I have also battled much with fear. So this resonates. Thank you.

I don’t know! It’s been a long time ago and I don’t remember. I might try to look it up and let you know if I find it.

Most of the time I’m not shy, but for some reason I get really nervous with interactions like meeting someone to pick up a Craigslist item, especially if there’s any negotiation with price. I get really awkward and it’s embarrassing, which makes it hard to ever do it again.
I tell myself I won’t get comfortable or smooth with this unless I make a bunch of mistakes first. That helps a little, but it’s still hard. I feel your daughter’s turning her head and saying No.
I also like how you turn away from parenting out of fear.

I too am a water person. And because of that it can be much easier to say what I want to say in writing. Your vulnerability is beautiful!
