Your first name of Martelly creates a quick, clever mind capable of grasping and assimilating new ideas. Associating with your own age group often does not hold your interest and you tend to seek the stimulation of minds more mature than yourself. From an early age you have desired a home, family, and related responsibilities, and although you are not demonstrative in your affections you have a strong sense of love and protection for those in your care. 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. Your feelings are easily hurt and so, to protect yourself, you withdraw within the realm of your private thoughts. Craving understanding, love, and affection but disinclined to verbalize your emotions, you may appear cold and aloof to those who would offer kindness. Although you are very knowledgeable and intelligent, you often find spontaneous verbal expression difficult. Often you are drawn to the out of doors as a coping mechanism for bouts of loneliness and moods. It is often only through writing that you open up and convey your deepest feelings and true appreciation for those you love. Your sensitivity and lack of verbal expression frustrate and limit the satisfaction in life to be gained from your responsible and capable nature.
