Oh, To Have Someone To Talk To About Literature, To Dive Into Pages And Analyze, To Find Meaning In Every

Oh, to have someone to talk to about literature, to dive into pages and analyze, to find meaning in every guise. To have someone to discuss religion and faith with, to question new ideas, and to find solace in what appears. And then there's art, movies and song, to have someone to talk to about films all day long, to share the beauty of a painted sky, or the grace in a dancer’s high. To talk about poetry, about life and love we keep, to find solace in words that rhyme, and to savor every single line. History, its lessons learned, to talk about wars and methods spurned. To learn from the past and plan for future, and to find meaning in every texture. Oh, to have someone to talk to, to share thoughts and ideas anew, and to feel understood in all we do.

The Psychological Meaning Behind Your Doodles

Ever catch yourself doodling the same thing over and over again? There’s actually some meaning behind your absent-minded sketches. What you tend to draw frequently reveals volumes about your mood and personality.

‘We tend to doodle when we are bored or stressed,’ says Ruth Rostron, professional handwriting analyst and vice-chair of the British Institute of Graphologists.

‘Because of this, we’re usually only half-conscious of what we’re drawing — which means our inner preoccupations surface on paper.’

People who tend to be emotional often draw rounded shapes and curved lines, indicating their need for harmony and affection. Those who are practical, down-to-earth ones uses a lot of straight lines and curves.

Determined individuals tend to draw more corners, zigzags and triangles while the more hesitant types will use light strokes.

A large doodle also suggests that a person is outgoing and confident while a small sketch suggests that a person is more observant and would rather be in the sidelines than participate in a major way.

Check out below the other meanings behind your doodles and sketches:

FACES The expression on a doodled face is often a good indication of the mood or character of the person who has drawn it. A nicely drawn, good-looking face suggests you see the good in others. If you sketch weird or ugly faces, you are probably mistrustful.

The Psychological Meaning Behind Your Doodles

Comic faces demonstrate a desire to be the centre of attention. Child-like doodles of faces suggest neediness. Profiles indicate you’re an introvert.

HEARTS Obviously a romantic doodle. Drawing a heart indicates you’re in love with love.

INTRICATE PATTERNS Busy, highly-detailed doodles are often drawn by people with an obsessive nature, who simply will not let go of their ambitions or loved ones. This type of drawing is often a favourite with extreme introverts.

HOUSE This common doodle indicates a need for security. A neat drawing of a house suggests a secure home life, a more messy-looking sketch (especially one without windows) indicates unhappiness with your home life.

A house pictured on its own on top of a hill suggests you’re feeling isolated and lonely.

FLOWERS Soft, rounded petals around a circular flower centre suggest an amiable, family-centric person. If the centre of your flower is a circle, but your petals are p ointy, you are probably hiding a warm heart behind a prickly defensiveness.

If you doodle a bunch of perky-looking flowers you are likely to be sociable. Drooping flower heads, on the other hand, indicate you’re burdened by worry.

NAMES OR INITIALS Doodling your name or initials is common for those who enjoy being the centre of attention. Teenagers often doodle just their first name or the initial of their Christian name, indicating a desire to break away from the family and do their own thing.

Doodling someone else’s name, on the other hand, shows they are in your thoughts — perhaps romantically or because they are a presenting a problem you need to deal with.

STARS Stars are often drawn by ambitious people. Lots of little stars indicate optimism. If you’ve drawn one big, bold, embellished star, you’ve got a definite goal in your sights.

Neat, uniform stars suggest good mental focus, while freehand, asymmetric stars show an energetic personality.

ANIMALS One who is sensitive to living creatures, the type of animal is a great deal about the mood of the doodler and often the type that the person wants to be (ex: tiger means desire to be courageous, snake means sneaky)

SQUARES OR BOXES Drawing a square indicates you want control of a situation — that you are thinking through a problem.

If your squares progress to a cube or box, you’re likely to be a very efficient, analytical person who can deal with difficult situations with little fuss.

CIRCLES Circles represent a need to find unity and peace. They can indicate someone who is struggling to draw everything together and make sense of it. It can also indicate a strong intuitive sense that things are coming together to form a whole, whether that refers to relationships, or life in general. Since they’re made with round movements, circles indicate a more passive feeling than angles. They’re associated with feeling sociable, talkative and friendly, with a desire to be flexible and loving.

FOOD Need for love, desire to be filled up, of course it might indicate hunger/thirst

from @himalbum

CLOUDS Fluffy clouds may indicate a happy person who is apt to daydream a bit, but has a strong sense of freedom around them. Angry, stormy clouds can indicate depression, or difficulty in coping.

CUBES They indicate a desire to be constructive. If they’re three-dimensional, they indicate the ability or an attempt to see all sides of an issue. Drawing cubes is also a common sign of feeling trapped and powerless to resolve a situation. Combined with round shapes and spirals cubes often signify that the doodler really would rather be somewhere else at that particular moment doing something at lot more interesting.

LINES Some people just draw lines. If these are drawn with a lot of pressure, they represent aggression and apprehension. The pressure is basically that decides your mood. The lighter the pressure, the more peace you have in your mind.
