I discovered this talk a couple of years ago and I watch it pretty regularly. Each time I take away something different. Which I both love and hate. “There is only one variable that separated the people who have a sense of love and… Continue Reading “the risk of excruciating vulnerability”
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about disappointment in a post. And I’m experiencing it in spades right now, so that usually means I needs to write about it. So I can figure out how I feel. Yes, this is how an INFJ works.… Continue Reading “disappointment, love and being an INFJ”
