Your name of Hollida has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You are deeply moved by the beauties of life, especially nature. Although you would give anything to be spontaneous, fun-loving, and natural, your name makes you very serious and self-conscious instead. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. Others find it a challenge to get to know you and although you want affection, friendship, and understanding, your aloof, shy qualities rebuff the attention of others. If you feel that anyone is prying into your life, you try to steer conversations away from yourself. You find companionship in novels and can become so absorbed in your reading that you are unaware of what is going on around you. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. You are inspired by encouragement from others, yet suspicious of their intent. A quiet walk in the outdoors, where you can listen to the sounds of nature, the wind in the trees, the lapping of water against a shoreline, the chirping of the birds, which become your companions, allow you to experience peace and freedom.
