Your first name of Alessa has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. Your close friends are few. You enjoy the out-of-doors, the beauties of nature, and experience peace and relaxation in outdoor activities. You find it difficult to say “no” and mean it. When you feel misunderstood, you become very reserved and quiet, and do not want to be with people. You are happiest when you are expressing in some artistic way, free from monotony and detail. You seldom like your time to be organized rigidly by others, but like to do things in your own way, at your own time. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding. Over-indulgence could cause a weak back, skin conditions or arthritis later in life.
