Haha. Incidentally, I'm most certainly the weirdest person I know as well. I've come pretty close to a padded cell a few times and I'm not sure why I'm allowed loose in the world... but on my good days, I'm kinda glad that I am. *evil grin* :P

Heh, yeah I know. It was just a bit of a shock for me. Hadn't thought about these things for a while. I'm glad that I've now recovered from that initial shock I had. Now that post seems a bit silly, but true in a way I guess. I'm glad that nowadays I mostly have only good days; and I'm also glad that I am loose in the world, now I'm able to shower people with kindness and such things. Shocking I know. :-)



Tehee, you've changed your avatar from actual basement bug to a smiling and tea enjoying cauliflower. Very mischievous, indeed! :-D

Everyone say after me:

I am powerful. I am strong. I am free. I won't be crushed. I will always rise again. It doesn't matter what have been nor what is coming. Only my power matters. And my power cannot be confined. If they put me in a cage, I still got my power from within not without. No one and nothing owns me. I'm the master of my own. If I live today, I will live in peace. If I die today, I will die with grace.

Just sayin', haha.

fml. i am spinning out of control. been unemployed for a month. running out of reasons to call it #funemployment. running out of optimism. THANK GOODNESS I stopped drinking in very early February, or this could be a real problem. I have been riding my bike, meditating, gardening, and everything to keep my mind off it, but it's creeping. My demons are creeping: "You're worthless" "You're no good at anything" "You're a dumb fuck" "You act like a child" "You can't do anything right" etc. getting harder to fend them off.

You know, I really do love the INFP forum. Everyone is so spectacularly sweet, and can cheer me up even when I'm at a really low point. Thanks, guys. <3

Lately I've been thinking I'm so sick of being single and I just want someone,I feel like I'm 21 and running out of time to even find anyone which is ridiculous I know but it's how I feel. I just miss it. I miss having someone be there I feel so just alone and lonely,I just Miss being able to cuddle and kiss and have sex whenever I want it. I wish it wasn't so fucking hard to find someone out there.

I ended up deciding to delete most of what I was originally going to post, but I'd agree with those above that the INFP forum is awesome. It's actually kind of nice to think about how people are in a way "together" in their isolation.

I wanted to quote this post in particular because it brought things back into perspective for me tonight. This quote pretty much sums up my default mode. Sometimes I get drawn out of that mindset, mostly because of [possibly naive] hopeful optimism. I'm sure I'll end up taking a ride on that bus again at some point, but for now I'll be putting the armor back on. An INTP can handle only so much before reverting to machine-mode, after all!

Just wanted to comment on this bit. Socializing on the internet is ludicrously powerful, based on the idea that it is a place where we can be "alone together". Never has a more true oxymoron surfaced.

Hearing some thunder enjoying the hazy morning and recalling who I've been in different stages in my life. I felt a bit sorry for myself for going against it & denying it for a looong time. How could I comply to outside voices and desert my own. Was it a way of surviving by fitting in and conforming to the commonly agreed upon standards. I adopted STJ's approaches for quite some time. It filled me with many contradictions. I must say I was my own threat. I used my insurmountable will against my own self causing self-destruction. Do I have regrets? no I don't because the path I've went through enhances the realization I gained at the end and strengthens the state I've reached now that I questioned before thus turned my back on. You can call it "learn the hard way".
