It's been ages since i last come on here, but i have some information that i hope will help. I have been on a long journey and i hope that this helps someone.
Everyone, i have been experimenting for a long time since i have been gone. I have learned that everyone has at least one element that resonates stronger with them than anything else. Something unique to the individual not only in element but in its appearance, its feeling. People usually call this your "Inner Flame" (most likely someone has talked about this before, but it has taken me a long time to find this out on my own so please bare with me).
What i have found is that when you know what your element, how it feels, the world will start to open up to you. The world seems shine brighter when one is in this state. The lives of people rotate in elements, even the progress of showing where one has strengths and weaknesses has a progression of elements. Some people may refer to this as magic, on the contrary, this is the natural ability that each one strives to accomplish every single day. The body, mind, and soul most be trained everyday to work together.
Just because when someone says the word element doesn't neccesarily mean that it has to be earth, wynd, water, or fyre. I can be light, death, life, darkness, plants, pretty much anything. It just has to resonate within you, that is how you will grow stronger, is by learning your true path, even if its just words or thought, and progessing from there. This little section right here, that i am hoping that others will contribute on, will help everyone here find their own niche, their own "Inner Flame" for where one of us is weak, another shall be strong. We were made to be social, to form unbreakable bonds that shape the very fabric of the world. Let's build our future together by creating those bonds, one step at a time.

There is no good reason for you to feel that way man. If the elemental model that you wrote about works for you than go with it. It just won't suit everyones style that's all:)
