  Mostly Ds – you’re like Alex!

  You’re caring, optimistic and a true romantic. Your main priority in life is finding love. That doesn’t always mean romantic love, because you also have great friendships and you’re really close to your family – in fact, you couldn’t cope without them. You constantly worry about others, and this makes you a natural confidant, and you’re the person they turn to when they need a shoulder to cry on. This sometimes means that you neglect your own feelings, though, because you always put others before yourself. Deep down, it’s hard to admit, but you can feel a little resentful that others don’t always see when you need help in return. Even though you’re surrounded by people, you can feel alone. But when you find that special person, when romance enters your life, it will be everything you dreamed of, because you’ll make it so. Hold out for the person who truly deserves all the love and attention you have to offer.

  Mostly Es – you’re like Grace!

  You’re easy-going, stylish and charismatic, and that means you’re popular. School, friends, success … it all comes easily to you. People are drawn to you like bees to honey, which is lucky, because you love being surrounded by people – you hate being alone. You love the deep connections that you’re able to make with others, but sometimes you feel that those around you expect you to be perfect, and that can be tiring – you just want to live your life truthfully, being able to relax without being in the spotlight. You know who you are, but you’re not always brave enough to let it show. However much you want to let go of the image you’ve so carefully built up, it’s also hard to take risks and really be true to who you are. You’re afraid that if people really knew you, they would disappear from your life. But have courage – the real you is the best you and people are desperate to see her.

  You got a bit of everything?

  That’s OK! That’s because you’re just you! You’re still figuring out who you are and who you want to be, and you have plenty of time to find out what really matters to you. Also, everyone changes from day to day. You might be a Grace one day and a Leigh the next. It’s hard sometimes not to quite understand yourself, especially when those around you seem to be so sure. But they’re probably not. They’re probably as unsure as you are. Take a breath, stop worrying about what you’re not and enjoy the journey to finding out what really makes you tick. Experiment with things that excite you or inspire any curiosity – or even scare you. The scariest moments can be the greatest learning experiences too. Don’t worry about not fitting into a box – you’re you, and that’s all that matters.
