Hi Reader,

Have you gone down the rabbit hole of personality systems and color analysis like I have?

From astrology to Myers-Briggs, many of us find comfort in categorizing ourselves.

These tools give us words to describe who we are and why we are the way that we are. They help us feel understood and seen.

But what happens when the need to get everything 'right' becomes overwhelming?

I’ll admit that I’ve been deep down the color analysis rabbit hole (if you’re not sure what I’m talking about, I explain more in this blog post).

I’ve spent far too much money on having people tell me what my best colors are, only for them to all tell me different things.

I have this need to get things right. The perfectionist in me wants a color-coordinated wardrobe.

But it goes beyond that. I think we all want a set of rules or a system to help guide our lives. We want a roadmap that tells us exactly what to do so we don’t have to worry about it so much.

Though I find it hard to pry myself away from these systems and labels, I’ve been reflecting on why we like to categorize ourselves in the first place and whether or not it’s actually helpful.

If you love a good personality test but end up overanalyzing the results, this week’s blog post is for you.

for the moment.
