    INFP - The Idealists

I stood up and looked out across the city and something happened that I don't think I can accurately describe in words. The entire day, I was focused on what needed to be done. Step 1, Step 2, etc. And during that very brief moment on the roof, my entire perspective on life changed. I became very euphoric and the craziest, most beautiful thoughts ran through my head.

    I quickly thought of things that had been troubling me so as to get a different perspective on them. And they didn't seem so bad. I don't want to say it was an epiphany or anything, because it wasn't like I suddenly found the solution to a problem or anything. It was just like this tiny little glimmer of clairvoyance.

    This has happened before, but not often. Most of the time it happens when I'm outside and surrounded by nature. It wouldn't seem so significant, except it is definitely different from the every day daydreaming I experience as an INFP. The closest thing I can compare it to is an extended orgasm



    Has anyone experienced anything like this?
    I experience this in the form of being "launched back in time" so to speak to a mindset I had when I was younger.

    Not only does my state of mind change for a very short period of time, but my fears and old personal weaknesses and curiosities return as well. I also remember somehow the exact age I was at the time I used to utilize that mindset.

    It's not clairvoyance, it's just different. It's a breath of fresh air from the same mind set day after day.

    ENFJ - The Givers

    it happens to me sometimes, always when i'm thinking alone i'll come up with profound ways to express what i feel,and this gives me a burst of clarity and purpose feelings i wuld rarily exprience otherwise, heres some i can remember:
    jokes never get old, the audience does
    noone cares what time it is,they just wanna know when something is gonig to happen
    theirs a difference between control and restraint,control is having a well behaved dog,restraint is keeping it on a leash
