Your first name of Mari-Ann contributes sensitive, creative, and idealistic qualities to your nature that could be expressed in a variety of literary or artistic fields. You desire harmony and refinement in your environment and in all your personal associations. Kind but shy, you appear calm but suffer inwardly from nervous tension that saps your strength. As you do not like to create issues, you do your best to avoid conflict with others. You have an appreciation for music and the arts and, with training, you could be artistically creative. Being idealistic has a creative side, but being too idealistic has a tendency to shut out harsh reality. Because you are far too receptive and sensitive, you feel other people's thoughts more than you should. Although you are a kind person and are very desirous of association and friendship, you are really quite shy. A lack of confidence leads to procrastination, a need for support and encouragement from others, and a vulnerability to be taken advantage of in many situations. You are not enjoying the fullness life has to offer, as you lack self-confidence, ambition, assertiveness, and energetic vitality that would open your mind to the happiness and fulfilment you were meant to have.
