Sorry for the lack of quality posts lately. Here’s a funny.

In order to make a relationship last, you really have to flow with a person as they change. Give them space. My friend always told me about his grandfather who was with his wife for 60 years before she passed. His grandfather said that through all that time, his wife changed so much it felt like he had been with 8 different people by the end. But he said the secret to making it last was that through all those changes, he never suffocated his wife with his own idea of who he expected her to be. Rather he loved, fully, every new woman she became.

THIS is good communication.

You look like quality. Hello.

Petition to change “he looked at her like she was the sun” to “he looked at her like she was the moon” and any other variation bc I look at the moon in wonder and love and amazement while I’ve only ever just squinted angrily at the sun

He looked at her like she was the sun, in that he never looked at her except in frustration. He basked in her warmth, he complained when she was gone, but he never looked. On days she was muted, he complained. On days she was stronger, he hid from her. He never looked at her until she was leaving, and in the beauty of the sunset he wondered how he’d never seen her before.

INFJs: Types I’ve Met

Cute n’ Nerdy

- Read, watched, & memorized theories, facts, & trivia about Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, *insert scifi or fantasy series… maybe anime*

- Will suddenly ramble to you with bright eyes and a large smile about the above, some fandom, theory, or what they’re studying in school *probably science/research related* if you show interest in listening

- Really smart, but very forgetful

Suh Deep n’ Artsy

- Pursues some form of art (music, writing, photography, illustration, design…) but damn, so hard on themselves no matter how freaking talented

- Wants to pursue a new form of art except they’re so afraid of failure they don’t even begin or give up after 5 minutes

- Probably disappears for periods of time, shutting out the world, trying to gain creative inspiration or practice for perfecting their art

- “Nobody gets me, but my *insert fluffy pet of choice* and my art outlet”

- *Only creates the best art in highly deep dark emotions*

- Wants to be quirky, unique, and not fit in but not TOO much ya feel me???

Angsty n’ Always Sad

- “OH YEAH AHHAHAHHA I’M DOING FINE!!” *breaks down 30 seconds later, drowning in tears*

- Passive aggressive AF… run for your life if they explode in anger because it means they’ve stored it for long enough and it is the last straw *will cut someone and say sorry 100x once cooled down*

- Can’t let go of old lovers no matter how messed up they were.. seems to be attracted to people that are toxic and hurt them?? Y??

- Always sad and angry inside bc world is messed up, friend didn’t understand their feelings, high standards of self, don’t feel like they fit in anywhere

Unpaid therapist & activist

- Asks deep questions *Knows what you’ll say before you say it but nods and listens*

- Got stuck in a conversation about someone pouring out life problems *send help* but gave solid advice and some hugs

- Stands up for social issues (on a blog/social media post) and will flip tables (at home or with a close friend) about injustices around them

*Note: These are only a few I came up with & not mutually exclusive categories* -ENFJ Bunny

It wasn’t meant to be. You’re not missing out. Your life has different plans for you.

“imagine meeting someone who wanted to learn your past not to punish you, but to learn how you needed to be loved. Be inspired by people who don’t run away when they locate the darkness in you; who instead lean in & ask where the darkness stems from & how they can love you in the midst of it.”
