Your name of Iyabo has given you depth of mind and a studious, philosophical nature. You are constantly on guard for fear of being criticized or ridiculed. You seldom allow others to get too close until you are sure you will receive understanding. You are interested in the deeper aspects of life and invariably are attracted to mystery, the occult, and religious concepts. It is far easier for you to express your deeper thoughts and feelings through writing than verbally. 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 then feel misunderstood and lonely and your thoughts can become turbulent and despondent, occasionally morbid. You tend to be secretive and noncommittal about private matters, yet at times you will talk effusively in order to hide your self-consciousness or to lead others away from personal subjects. 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.
