Wind, for the reason that I have three sisters, and when I was about five of six years old, one of those sisters decided to assign the four of us different elements depending on our personalities and characteristics. The eldest sister is earth, the next, fire, the one that instigated this is water, and then I, the youngest, am wind. I think it has always fit very well and ever since then it’s an element I’ve felt very close to, and certainly now it’s my favorite as thinking of it not only makes me think of myself, but of my sisters and my relationships to them, as well as just my relationships to people in general. It gave me something to hold onto that was distinctly “me” among all of the changes my personality went through as I aged; it was a constant.
As for other reasons, I think the feeling of wind against skin and hair is very lovely, and it’s rather exciting to watch people like me, with very long hair, in the wind. I guess another aspect of this would be my love of heights and fascination with flight and birds. So I love wind very much and I’m sure it will always be my most favorite of elements. ♥
