The letter Z is indelibly associated with all things zesty and zany. So when it occurs in words alongside the humble, homey letter H, it creates the sense of cheeky warmth that percolates through the words chutzpah, schmaltz, schmooze, huzzah, and humanize. These are softly gentle personalities, full of loopy surprises and the kind you want to have around when you need a little life in your cocktail party.
Like most people whose names begin with the letter H, Hazels are not particularly proactive about making waves, but have the uncanny ability to bring harmony and balance to any situation. Not that they’re pushovers by any means; it’s just that their philosophical aesthetic calls for things to be on even keel.
If there’s strife amongst the HZ’s family or friends, you can count on her inserting herself right in the middle as an arbitrator. But don’t mistake her need for tranquility as an invitation to whine, for the Hazel isn’t always the best person to go to when you’re looking purely for sympathy. Your Hazel friend may be incensed that your fiancée left you at the altar, but she’s not going allow herself to be used as a human Kleenex. She’s much more likely to dispense the type of sensible advice that makes a practical difference.
Hazels are industrious women but suffer from a lack of focus when they have too much on their plates. Rather than tackling the big issues in their lives (like paying the rent and feeding the dog), they’re likely to be writing a poem to send in to the greeting card company or debating where to move the couch. Occasionally, these distractions can adversely affect their intimate relationships, which over time can suffer from lack of nourishment. But it should be remembered that although Hazels sometimes give the impression that they need more time to themselves, they genuinely enjoy company and value their friendships
If you’re in love with an HZ there’s something you should know. If she seems to be putting her energies into other issues, it doesn’t mean that she doesn’t care about you. On the contrary, it’s only because she knows that the relationship is stable that she is comfortable enough to futz around. The time to worry is when she starts making you her priority. So if you’re the sort who needs constant attention, you should consider getting a puppy. As long as she’s happily distracted with her many projects, you can rest easy that your Hazel mate will always be there for you.
