It has been assumed by - more than one friend - that I do not have a passion, which is sadly very far from the truth. The truth is I did not accept my passion, which is the study of the mind, as well as appreciating artistic ability. I am grateful to say that I can own this passion now, and freely express it. I love that life is sooo fascinating, and that there is always one more thing to discover.

I have been studying personalities for a long time, but only have recently zoned in on the functions, which seems to have more substance than other typing that I have researched. It has made sense to me so far, even if I continue to question what I have discovered. Also I love to grasp the way I tick, so that I can accept myself better. The goal is to be confident with who I am and to love being in my own skin at all times, so that I can enjoy others more.

I love literature, art, philosophizing, analyzing people, seeing new places, going to movies, hiking, walking the beach or shore, shopping, and decorating.
Biography
I am the middle child of five children and grew up in a bland small town. My family lived a few miles from town, and our neighbors weren't very close, which kept me very isolated. This was a good thing and a bad thing. I loved to have the freedom to escape into my own imaginations, but I am also a very social person, so I frequently got depressed from the lack of social connection, plus the bland environment lacked the stimulation I needed.

Luckily I live a large place that gives me the variety I need -- plus the space.

As for a job, well I struggle with being successful in the physical world, but I am trying. I have been in and out of school for awhile, but have now zoned in on a degree that seems to fit me; which happens to be a very popular degree amongst fellow INFJs; it is an English Literature degree (as the nfgeeks would say, "like a good INFJ should".
In descending order, which 6 things could you never do without?
This is not really in order, but I could never be without my family, or people to communicate my ideas too. I also could not be completely without money, because, hey, I need FREEDOM to live life!! I could never be without my space, such as a place to escape to if I am unable to deal with the people around me. I could never be without a way to learn. I could never be without my leisure time. I could never be without the ability to rearrange my life the way that works best with my personality. Is that six? Well, whatever, they were vague, but you get the picture.
What would be your epitaph?
I am starting to get bored of writing my feelings, and don't have the energy to say anything funny, but whatev here goes:

This person gave advice like buddha, made your head spin like the cheshire cat, and never gave up on the hope that one day those cartoon kids would let the trix bunny have his cereal. And man, this girl could not get enough of that polyjuice potion -- hey maybe that is what she died of....
