Your first name of Elya creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. This characteristic could make you rather unpopular with your associates. Your feelings are very easily hurt and to protect yourself you withdraw within the realms of your own private thoughts and shut out the rest of the world. You are sensitive to harmony or discord in the home and workplace, and intuitive to how you are regarded by others. You have a sensitive nature--sensitive to your environment and particularly sensitive to how your deeper and more serious interests are regarded by others. You can give expression to your personal thoughts and feelings most fluently through the written word. A quick learner, you may be resented by those whose mental processes are slower, and be misjudged as a "know it all. " You do not mean to offend but being reserved creates a barrier in communication and makes you appear disinterested. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love.
