I am a Gemini too and consider myself an extrovert but I also love alone time — and have that same group attitude (lead or go with the flow). Maybe I'm an ambivert, too. 🤔🙃 Thanks for sharing! 🥰
I don't wear sunscreen even though I burn in say April and may then turn an olive color. I'm same with you on foundation tones. 😊♥️ we are all so diverse I don't get why some people want to be just one thing. I used to blame it on the fact I'm bipolar and can never make decisions-- nah, girl... we are just well rounded people. And I'm glad to read blog posts from another well rounded individual. ♥️😊
As a Gemini rising I relate very deeply to this 💁♀️Parts work in therapy has helped me understand myself so much better and has allowed me to release the idea that I have to be just one unyielding identity and embrace the complexities and contradictions.
Like you, I really don't understand why when I'm saying "I'm a Gemini", it isn't enough of an explanation 😅 I mean.... come on !! I am also an ambivert and I am a lot of conflictual things that only seem conflictual to other people.
I really really enjoyed this piece, the way it was written, the analogy and the topic.
Forever in the duality of our mixed cultures. Also, did I tell you my Papou was apprenticed to a cobbler as a child? (I know💔)On LEDRA! They probably knew each other x
Most people want each of us to be one thing. It simplifies their lives. I know my adult children (38, 33) dread coming home because they are seen here as who they were at 10 or 16 even as they have become many things all at once in adulthood. Reunions are just … out! So, anyway… I don’t mind visiting them as long as they’ll let me be in awe of who they have become.
Ugh… I could keep typing but the sunscreen is dripping into my eyes… OTOH, no clouds in the sky, so that’s a W!
I understand you, Tiffany because i'm an ambivert, too. I'm not a Gemini, though (i'm a Sagittarius. My birthday's in November).
For a few years, i wanted to ignore my introvert side or better say, erase it completely. However, now i accept both my sides and try to use each of them when necessary. There's just one problem: sometimes when i need me time to recharge my batteries, i have to activate my extrovert side and i can't escape that (my mom's family understands this, but not my dad's family [despite the fact that physically and behaviorally, i'm more like my dad's family]).
GEMINI ENERGY PERSONIFIED!!! Also, which sunscreen do you wear? I know this isn't the point of this post, but I'm in a real sunscreen crisis and I know you and I both like to carefully curate everything we use...
Love love love this! I tell the therapist I’m a Scorpio (torn between the desire to create and to destroy) but they don’t care either. It seems to be so common for multi-pats (as opposed to expats?) to say in one place that they're from the other, and vice versa, while holding two homes and two personas at once.
Hooray I'm not alone! What does the rising part of Gemini mean?
I think all would benefit from embracing our conflicts and contradictions 😊

I'm also an ambivert! Maybe it's time to reframe "confusing" to others (and self) as mysterious and intriguing.

Brilliant!
YOU SPOKE DIRECTLY AT ME.
Hi gemini sister
Promise I'm cool and totally weird
