New Blog Name

I am renaming my blog based on my enneagram number.
The enneagram has been an important fixture in STAC for my generation of STACies, and it has been for me personally too. Honestly the whole idea is exaggerated. People tell you what you are like and you tell yourself, "right of course, I am exactly like that" when you also have characteristics of all the sections of the chart. But the enneagram helps so that you can craft yourself around a core idea. You identify as this, a single number out of nine, and tell yourself to be like this number. That helps surprisingly.
I am a five on the enneagram chart. That means that I am an "Investigator" but I've also heard it called "The Observer". I really loved the categorizing of my type, I love the way that the websites describe it. Being and Investigator means that I am an extremely introverted person. But introverted in a sense that makes you different from every other type. It's like shyness but described in a way that makes me better than you for being shy. I think to myself. I have a never ending internal dialog with myself that is always working. I fear the world so much that I will take a step back and think about everything so that I don't to confront it constantly. I feel like this is the best description for a good blogger. Someone will so much to say but is too shy to ever say it out loud.
The new blog title will be "Inside the Investigator" which sounds much better than my current title which doesn't seem to make much sense because it has nothing to do with what I'm writing about.
