RE: Fleurs de Florence
Good morning, @janton
This is stunning to hear - you are painfully shy? I know this too well myself but I am really surprised to hear that for you! Why?
Well, you have certainly found your voice here on Steemit and that is a beautiful thing. You have wings! ;)
Truly I think that the talent you see here on Steemit is just that people have a platform to explore themselves more and there are plenty of opportunities to do that and plenty of people to learn from.
So the storyteller in you is emerging! I love that! You are a great storyteller, @janton keep going with that and your wonderful people connecting.
That is truly cool! I am sorry that you are painfully shy though - I am the same. I just recently took that myer's briggs personality test and I was shocked to learn that I am an INFJ - the "I" stands for introvert and the rest of the letters mean that I 'feel' my world. And hey....it's an overwhelming world sometimes. I fit into only 2% which explains a lot! LOL I'd be curious what you are with this - INFJ or INFP? I have a link to it in my 'Re-Think Goals' post. It's really helpful to know this.
Anyway.....I am so happy to see that you are blossoming here on Steemit - I would have never guessed you were painfully shy. And I agree, your love of people is what makes this so natural for you - and people can pick that up. That is great!
My mom wasn't an artist, but she had a career that was artistic (hair, permanent cosmetics)...in my eyes though she was 'an artist' and I always wanted her to explore that more because I was sure she would be the best artist ever!
For me, I always wanted to be a writer but I settled into poetry and I got poetry block and on a whim (because I had to produce something) wrote out a few true stories and suddenly that part of me emerged. It's just super exciting to see this happening with so many people here. It's a great space to find your wings ;) It's like when we're 5yro our box of crayons are taken away and replaced with 'life' and we never got to develop that creative side. So I just love this and I love your story. You should write about that, @janton!
howdy today youhavewings! I'm too shy to write about my shy story! lol. well maybe someday. But thank you so much for your kind words.
It's hard for me to believe that YOU are in introvert but the Myers Briggs test is very accurate I believe. I had a college professor who was a dear friend and he had me take it but aside from the introvert part I don't remember the other letters.
I still have it in my papers around here somewhere though. I wonder if we change much in personality because I took that thing like 35 years ago!
All I remember is that he said that I was the rarest of the personality types, probably close to yours. so we're a couple of strange ducks! lol.
That is so interesting and funny. Hey your mom certainly was artistic but just a different type of artistry so it is in your genes like I thought. And it's thrilling to see these gifts come out, think of that part of your legacy that you can leave for your kids and on down the line!
Not that you're going anywhere for a long time but you know what I mean.
your username is so perfect for steemit! was that on purpose or an accident?
Yeah, I'm thinking you're an INFJ. It is the rarest. I took mine in college, too and it was the same but I didn't know that it explained so much more than what field I should go into. It had my top 3 choices as funeral director, lawyer or speech pathologist :) You might teeter between INFJ and INFP depending on how low the J portion of your judgment is. Really quick (3 minutes): http://www.humanmetrics.com/cgi-win/jtypes2.asp
Makes sense if you are an INFJ because we love people and see the bigger picture for humanity...the down side of that is that we take the world on our shoulders and are often disappointed because our ideals of the world don't always match up with the realities taking place. Natural writers and creatives ;) But we function completely different in the way we approach life.
I thought it was very useful - reading more in depth about INFJ. It can be very challenging but knowing what those challenges are helps to concentrate on them and understand why they are there.
howdy today youhavewings! hey this is a Friday if I'm not mistaken, my days sometimes get scrambled but does that mean anything special for you, like more fun stuff or anything?
Shoot, I forget if you're working now, I think you are concentrating on raising the kids right? And your husband works somewhere.
Well, that INFJ sounds familiar. Do you mean that yours has changed a little bit since you took the one in college?
I remember that the INFJ's also are very hard on themselves and beat themeselves up all the time! lol. So if anything has changed then that part hopefully has indeed changed a little, I think ....and hope.
Thanks for sending this link, I will try and get to it soon. Let me know what your weekends are like or what your plans are for the weekend because I'm curious.
Actually Mrs. J says I'm super nosey but I call it curious! lol. Maybe I'm nosey I don't know.
I homeschool, @janton which is a full-time job and then some! hehe Oh my....I went to bed at 9pm last time - pooped! Fridays are usually our free days - which consist of homework and musical practice - so I can relax a little more - clean the house and catch up on yard work before the yard police give us another violation letter ;) But you see what I'm doing, right? Steemit....goals, goals!
Weekend: I am planning on writing on the Drop in the Ocean topic of "Continuation" which will be an interesting topic to write about given that it could be nearly anything....continuation of life, continuation of a dream, continuation of the seasons.....hmmm What angle should I write from ? They are all so very interesting to me.
Cleaning to make a 'relaxing' space is also high on my list as I would like to try experimenting with some art supplies I just ordered! ;) It involves 'color' janton! I'm going to go for color! Now that I've put all this out there, I will have to follow-through.
Yes, INFJ's have some challenges for sure! And yes, mine has remained the same since college so I guess this is me, huh? I didn't pay attention to all the details of that college test though - just the end result and suggestions. But his test, gives some really helpful details on why I can't get anything done! haha
And we plan on making some kind of special family meal together. We haven't done this in a few months so the boys brought it up to me a few days ago and that's what we're going to do!
What do you have planned?
Hope you have a beautiful day!
youhavewings! what kind of music do you do? you have to be a music teacher also right?
So the weekend will be writing for steemit, another perfect post, and soon you will be doing artwork in color! now that sounds very interesting too, can't wait to see some of that.
What is a special family meal like? What is different about it in comparison to a typical meal?
No special plans here, Mrs. J works all day tomorrow, I will do some mowing on our acreage and work on steemit. Just routine stuff.
Oh yeah......I found this YT channel a month or so ago about the INFJ. I really love his dry humor and raw honesty. highly recommend
