• My mind is a natural world-builder - the worlds in my mind are bigger than most people could dream of, and have kept me safe in my darkest times
• I'm a creative thinker - I have no interest in things staying the same, and can envision many possible ideas that could work better
• I'm an empath - I'm always impacted by the feelings in a room, am acutely aware of how words and actions can cause harm, and I remember every little detail I learn about a person forever
• I have a profound belief in justice and equality - I won't accept injustice, and I have very little respect for hierarchy or authority
• I'm good at pretty much all reasoning / intelligence tests - there isn't really much I can't work out, a lot of things come naturally to me, and I'm capable of learning things that don't
