It's hard to believe that there's only two months left of 2024. Looking back on the rest of the year it seems almost like a blur at this point. A lot had happened, I moved house in the spring to another town, finished the prequel arc of DIVE, and even got to spend time exploring the new neighbourhood that I live in. Summer was gorgeous this year, it's why I think my art took such a back seat (my lifting too sadly although I did get into cycling more so at least I was doing something).

I think this year is the year I really buckled down on my bad habits, even if it's been one thing at a time. Something I never really talked about was the sheer fact that over the course of the pandemic I didn't save a dime, I didn't want to admit that I used retail therapy a little too much. That's one thing that I wanted to kick this year instead of racking up my own personal debt due to my bad spending habits. It's something that even my late father was guilty of that I happened to dip in as well. Don't get me wrong, I know I absolutely could be in a worse position than what I'm already in (I do have a decent paying job) but I've come to the realization that there's certain goals that I won't be able to accomplish if I don't kick this habit so that's the main reason why I've got to nip it in the bud so to speak.

Everyone has their vice. I will admit I almost feel like someone who's going to rehab for an addiction at this point but it's got to be done. I told myself that I was going to make better habits and hold myself more responsible. I've been critical on others for breaking their word and yet I've done it myself, I don't think it's fair of me to snap at others when I'm just a guilty but I guess that's human nature. Doesn't mean I've got to make an excuse for it though, it's lovely being to buy what I like considering I grew up in a really poor family.

I remember being a kid wanting what others had, you could definitely say I was envious of those that could afford the nice things - new clothes, nice toys, live in a spacious house. Having everything second hand save for my undergarments was not something I'd ever want to put a kid through if I could help it, being poor sucked. You get bullied for it and the fact that you get very little choice of what you actually get to have is also kinda shite - I love being able to express myself how I want to, not limited to what someone else deems because I've got to take their old stuff off of their hands and that's my choices. Like I'm not knocking thrift shops or anything of the sort but it's definitely awkward when you get your older cousins clothes who's much bigger than you and the opposite gender and that was what you had to make due with.

Growing up poor was definitely a humbling experience as well, don't get me wrong, it made me appreciate the luxuries I do get to enjoy these days. Like buying real maple syrup instead of that corn syrup shite, what a blessing. Or getting to buy the nice shampoos that smell amazing instead of the dollar store 2 in 1 crap, my hair thanks me everyday for that. I think head and shoulders actually gave me dandruff instead of getting rid of it but I digress. life can definitely be a struggle.

I'm just glad that I've got the self awareness to be able to point out where I need improvement. It's going to be hard to do what I need to do but when is doing what's right ever been easy? I don't think there ever has been a time where life will be a complete cakewalk and I'll get to fully enjoy the fruits of my labour.

There's a lot that I have planned but I'm not wearing myself thin trying to accomplish what I want either to the point of exhaustion. I've done that enough in the past to know I'll crash and burn if I try, one thing at a time. As much as I need to form better habits (one being to quit grabbing lunch on the go so often) I know that I've got to take it in bite sized portions and do what I can within reach instead of trying to chew it all off at once. That's the worst thing about being as stubborn and ambitious as I am - you overwhelm yourself to where there's no possible way to complete everything on the list and some of it ends up being half assed.

Part of being kind to yourself is self discipline. It's one thing to point out someone mistakes but it's another to do it with yourself.

I know who I am and where I'm going. It's going to take a while but I know I can do it.

Wish me luck.

*entj creates a facebook account*

entj: it's recommending me people from my hometown...

isfp: you probably have their phone numbers.

entj: I've never had these people's numbers.

isfp: weird.

entj: it's like when TikTok recommends that girl you were friends with at 5 years old and never saw again because she moved to a third world country for legal reasons.

isfp:

isfp: would that be me?

entj: it's very inspired by you.

The Glorification of Te (particularly on XNTJ)

Te Isn't about being right all the time and never having any form of subjectivity. Not only that but Te can make wrong calls and be just as reckless as those Se stereotypes. And when it comes to XNTJ is worst. Paired up with Ni people act like its an all knowing function that can knows every outcome of every little thing. Ni isn't clairvoyance. And not only that people in places like typology Tok or PDB start demoting charcaters based on how good they are at using that function rather than how much they use it. Sorry but being a Thinker doesnt make you smart. Id argue that 9/10 ENTJs in media aren't smart. Furthermore majority of those ENTJs use TeSe not TeNi. But usually when they see characters like these they get demoted to ESXP (usually ESTP for men and ESFP for women).

Reblog and comment what is the mbti stereotype you absolutely hate about your type.

I'll go first. ISTJ + "mindless rule-follower drone worker". Which is so not true, I tend to analyse any topic I'm speaking about to be extremely precise. I only follow any rules or instructions if they are logical and correspond with my Fi. If I have to follow a rule, it has to make sense. Although I'm really bad at handling social situations (trickster Fe), I tend to work (in my case, academically) better when I am given somewhat freedom to use my Si and Ne.

INTJ's Concept of Failure

INTJ here, in the academic-professional world. A Science Researcher, a title that aligns with my personal characteristics, skills, and values. INTJs are very skilled in any career form, especially something they are passionate about or strongly attuned to. May it be analytic, creative, or even passive. It may seem that INTJs have their shiz together. (Most of the time they do). However, we cannot overlook that there is an inevitable small percentage that INTJs will encounter failure at certain points in their life, especially when we're freshly navigating new grounds. The concept of FAILURE is dreadful. Confronting failure, being in a situation face-to-face with failure is quite gut-wrenching and we feel like our hearts are dropping to the pits of our stomachs. If given the chance, INTJ will try to avoid it but over time will need to accept that they need to overcome their fear head-on. As an INTJ, I am currently facing a failure that is crucial progress to our project. A failure not only in a sense of duty but personally in terms of competence and quality. Ultimately, we INTJs need to overcome and recover... though not necessary to bounce back quickly. I think this failure only boosts the fact that we still have room for improvement and growth.

INTP: Where did you put my headphones?

ENTJ: On the third drawer of the dresser.

INTP: I had a system! And you ruined it!

ENTJ: That was not a system, you just randomly throw stuff on the floor

INTP: yes, that makes them easier to find

ENTJ: It's messy, so I cleaned it up for you.

INTP: NOW I AM SUPPOSED TO OPEN DRAWERS TO FIND MY STUFF?

ENTJ: touché

INTP: You can't change my life like this, first you made me have three meals a day, and see a doctor when I am sick and do my work before the last minute and now you are making me organised, this is too much.

ENTJ: honey, I am putting up with you. I think you can at least do the bare minimum for me.

INTP: FINE. But don't you dare book me an appointment with the psychologist again, she can't help me, I am more qualified than her.

ENTJ *sips coffee*: too late.

INFJ & INTJ

INFJ: The world is so cruel. People starve to death while foods expire on mass. No one feels any obligation to anyone. They just sit back and watch as imbalance grows wider and wider, while the only people who have the power to change this reality benefit from it. Will of power is rotten and will take everyone with it.

INTJ: Mood.

INTP & INTJ

INTJ: Your entire thesis is dependent on the premise that humans are solely defined by their upbringing, which is incredibly reductive.

INTP: If you wanna argue about that, you know that Freud claimed-

INTJ: That's your reference? The guy who cursed us with ideas like electra complex?

INTP: But he literally laid the foundations of the entire field?

INTJ: Whatever. His work had no correlation to morality. Let me say it loud and clear: the cast of Danganronpa 2 were bad people.

INTP: THEY'RE VICTIMS TOO!

It's been a little while since I've made an update.

It's hard to believe that 2024 is half over. Something that I find as you get older time seems to go faster. It's been a world of difference for me being thirty compared to twenty. I've had people ask me about a lot of things, one namely being how do I stay so calm during times of stress or how do I feel about this decade so far? I feel a lot of things honestly, the world no longer holds that fleeting sense that I'm by myself but rather that I've chosen a path that's been curated for me and there will be others that will intersect with my path on occasion, but it's alright not to be the same person.

I don't write as much of these deep thoughts just because the support system I have - the people I trust have provided sufficient enough ground for me to walk on when things get rough. I think that's one of the beautiful things about when people grow together no matter the type of relationship you share with them. Nobody is perfect and we all have our struggles but it's knowing when you need to reach out and grab someone else's hand for stability that's half the battle. I've had to let down my hair so to speak and just embraced the softer side of myself over the past handful of years. The pandemic really did a number on my mental health along with losing those that were close to me via death or other means but it's something that I reflect on. Something that I like to look back upon as a lesson or turning point - a chapter of my life marked by someone or something as it overlaps another.

As people we're meant to grow and flourish, to stagnate is to die in a sense. Just as time passes so too should our thoughts of self doubt and insecurity; it's amazing getting to see that spark be ignited in someone else to be authentically themselves. That one of life's biggest points: to become the best version of you that you possibly can be and to put yourself first without compromising your integrity even if that makes an enemy out of others. I've been a person for the majority of my life that didn't let people box me in, to simply and frankly not give a fuck is one of the best feelings - that freedom to be yourself is something I think folks these days are almost afraid of. I've watched too many people get hung up on the smallest of details when they don't need to. The biggest folks that are trying to hold you back are those too insecure to face the music and live outside of someone else's shadow - the people who are envious of other people making their own happiness and finding said happiness for themselves.

There's something almost surreal about living life and getting to actually stop and sniff the roses. Over the past four years I think that's what happened to me, I was forced to slow down - almost mourning the high paced intensity that everything had provided but the pandemic ripped everything out from under my feet to the point that I was lost. Who was Vivian? I didn't know and I couldn't tell you because I had put so much stock into superficial things thinking I knew it all when I didn't. Being put in the position where I had to either sink or swim really grounded me and removed me from my rigid thoughts - the thoughts that I'd perish if everything wasn't just so. Having to let go of myself in that moment was terrifying but it had to be done.

If you never face hardship you never grow as a person.

That's something that I learned the hard way. People do a lot of preaching this 'live, laugh, love' shit and other such 'profound' or 'deep' nonsense but a lot don't truly understand what the words they speak mean. To be unapologetically yourself and having to get back on your feet is not always something you can do by yourself, for me it definitely wasn't. There came to a point that I realized that even the people that had caused me hell had been there to teach me something about life and about myself that I wouldn't of learned without them. So when people ask me if I have any regrets my answer is no, everything up to this point - the good and the bad - was worth the end result (present me). I let go of the apprehension of having to admit I needed help during that time too - that I had to reach out because I wasn't capable of being my usual 'one man army' that I was used to. If I could say anything it's I hated to fail (still kinda do) and I wasn't going to lay down and let anything stop me. Certainly not the negativity I had gone through.

My vindictive streak had almost vanished, it wasn't really until this year that I could even really say that I felt like an adult too but it's because I understand the struggle that not only I went through but that of others too. I think it's best to live life trying to make it as easy as possible for yourself and others if you can instead of seeing everything as 'every man for himself' sort of deal. Life is hard enough without trying to add and being selfish never amounts to anything good if I were to say anything.

Even the people that have done me wrong in the past (or will in the future) come from a place of hurt. Whether they've failed themselves or simply have been in a place where they feel the need to lash out I can understand where they're coming from because at one point or another that was me. Every version of you is true, to some people you were terrible and others - fantastic. What you chose to do with that information determines the person you are and ultimately become. The first step in growing and healing is understanding the moments where you were at your worst and not repeating them but building upon them. It takes a lot to admit you were at fault for some of the hardships within your life but to continue, you have to own up for what you've done.

Hard times have humbled me, they've kept my ego in check much better than I might've given them credit for. I still go by the mantra 'be kind, but take no shit'

Life is good. I think it's only been in recent times that I've been able to reflect upon the past without that heavy sense of longing like I was missing something from it. Now I glance back understanding that forward is the only way to go; change isn't a bad thing and we all need a bit - that's just par for the course. It's incredible how much the small things amount into something grand. From day to day I don't feel like I shift much but peering back at myself from the start of the year I would say I'm even a different person from now to then in some aspects. The further back I go, the more different I am. It's that introspection that gives me a sense of accomplishment. I've come a long way, longer than I realize.

I've begun to understand things as they are, why things happen the way they do and accept that. For a long time I didn't want to change, I couldn't stand the thought of having everything slip out of my fingers. I think that was my biggest takeaway from the pandemic years - that nothing is eternal but that's okay. Life was never meant to last forever and that's why we have to cherish what we have now. It's kind of like savouring the flavour of something in the moment and learning to appreciate that moment because you'll never know if it was a 'once in a lifetime' event or not for certain things - same goes for people.

There's been a lot of people that have been an absolute gift and even if I might've grown apart or chosen a different path from them I can appreciate the time we spent. I think that's how I view the years and memories I've shared with people on my journey too, having a very candid viewpoint is nice - sometimes it's good to just live in the moment.

It's good to just live for yourself too.

Everything balances out in the end - the good, the bad, and even everything in between. It feels lovely to not let the little things worry me like they used to, it's really given be a different perspective on life and how to go about my own happiness.

It's nice to be here...
