If I can just get it all out through art, whatever that may be, even though it's even more painful that way, just maybe it'll be enough to let it go eventually.
Do you ever get to a moment where you realise you've reached a point of disillusionment that you feel like something has to change? I don't know if it should be a different life path, or just a different city, just that I don't want to live in this level of sadness forever.
Umm so yes while I've been quiet on here, I've been enjoying making music. It's for me really (my sanity), but some INFPs might relate, I hope. Here's 'Waiting' #np https://t.co/UCNf8izkwU
I'm realising that it doesn't matter if nobody cares what I have to say in my creativity. It's enough that I can make myself feel seen somehow, even if no one is looking. I'll be proud of it anyway, and that's what I love, and why I'll never stop creating.
I've finally found what is fulfilling to me, and it's creating. I knew it all along, but I always felt it must be somehow self-absorbed, or too competitive, or my work not good enough.
I'm always craving change, but then I'm always so sentimental when it actually happens. There's something so reminiscent of mortality about the chapters we have to leave behind.
I feel like I'm always going to be falling for someone who is on the periphery of my life. Is that an INFP thing? Will I always just love the idea of someone?
I think the reason anxiety can really cripple me is because I also have very strong gut reactions, and I don't know which is which. One moment it's clear as day and the next I'm spiralling back into indecision
I think part of me worries so much because I have these moments of clarity where I realise that everything is transient, temporary, the good and the bad, happy and sad, and it honestly scares me to death sometimes
Those moments when I feel calm and content with myself, because I no longer try desperately to look at myself through the eyes of others...those are the best.
@pelavarre Yes I'm sure, although the sphere I work in is very interpersonal and about communication etc., it's more the constant routine/structure and obsession with work that really gets my goat. The chart makes sense though definitely
I used to think that choosing a career was finding what you're passionate about. Now I wonder if it's just a case of choosing your treadmill carefully. (A very jaded and burnt out INFP here).
I wish I wasn't so self preservational...why can't I be one of those people who gets by on 6 hours sleep and stays out socialising until 3am? The world must just work for those people
Sometimes I feel like the older I get the more I'm able to connect with other people, at others I feel like my need to be understood will always be a gaping chasm inside me.
I've always felt that there is something; some kind of meaning or purpose that is missing from my life, and I've always sought to tackle that outwardly. But maybe I just need to accept that my quest to find meaning in life is part of who I am.
I've riled against living an ordinary life for so long, but I wonder whether my fate is really much less remarkable than I would've planned for myself. Do I really need to be different? Or do I just need to be happy?
I don't think I can live without writing of some sort. And it's mostly writing in the privacy of knowing that no one will hear my songs or read my diary...and I wonder if I'm very different to how people perceive me. I suppose we all are.
Somewhere on the treadmill of life, the part of me that is truly able to speak, through music and words, gets squashed and trampled on. A part of me is lost until I can run back to that place of creating.
