MBTI & Writers James Baldwin: INFP

“James Arthur Baldwin (August 2, 1924 – December 1, 1987) was an American novelist, playwright, and activist.

His essays, as collected in Notes of a Native Son (1955), explore intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies, most notably in mid-20th-century America.

Some of Baldwin’s essays are book-length, including The Fire Next Time (1963), No Name in the Street (1972), and The Devil Finds Work (1976).

An unfinished manuscript, Remember This House, was expanded and adapted for cinema as the Academy Award–nominated documentary film I Am Not Your Negro.

Baldwin’s novels and plays fictionalize fundamental personal questions and dilemmas amid complex social and psychological pressures thwarting the equitable integration of not only African Americans, but also gay and bisexual men, while depicting some internalized obstacles to such individuals’ quests for acceptance.”

me when i like the 2-3h movie: directors should never have to compromise their vision to appeal to something as fickle as people's "patience". anyone complaining about the movie's length is simply a tiktok-addicted philistine.

me when i don't like the 2-3h movie: once i become god emperor of earth anyone trying to make a movie longer than 90 minutes will be shot.

New Year’s Resolution (with a body that has other plans)

This year

I will not promise

to become unbreakable.

My body has already taught me

that survival is not loud,

and strength does not always look like climbing.

I will resolve

to listen before I push,

to rest before I disappear,

to forgive the days that arrive empty-handed.

I will measure success

in smaller, truer units:

getting dressed,

answering one message,

standing in a patch of sunlight

like it is an achievement

because today it is.

I will not chase the version of me

that existed before pain learned my name.

I will walk beside the one who is here now,

learning new maps,

rewriting what “enough” means.

Some days my resolution will be

to do less.

Some days it will be

to do nothing and not call it failure.

And if I grow,

it will be quietly—

like roots deciding, without witnesses,

that they are still reaching.

This year,

I resolve to stay.

To keep choosing my body,

even when it is difficult,

even when it is slow,

even when the world prefers miracles

over maintenance.

I am not giving up.

I am choosing a kind of hope

that can breathe here.
