So I am apparently a 2 and a 9 A Helper and a Peacemaker.

That is so interesting and makes total sense! You are the perfect balance between a 2 and 7. I can't actually imagine a better combination for a friend. We should hang out more, love. I'm a solid 4 and am only really helpful with heartaches. But, my oh my, we need our 7's. xo
