I discovered a new musician in who’s music I fell in love at the first listen. 24h didn’t go by aaaaand I bought two tickets for his concert..

..Needless to say, it won’t happen in my country. Guess I’ll be in Netherlands in two months somehow.

Impulsivity is what makes us spark, my dear ENTP’s.

My dear MBTI loving friends,

I have had something on my heart for some time that I’m slightly worried about and want to share my thoughts with you.

It hasn’t been long since I graduated high school and took a gap year for not being able to attend the school I wanted. Before that I studied arts and design, fashion design in particular. I had great time doing what I wanted or should do, which was fun anyways when you did it in the last minute with your mates. The school created a kind of utopical atmosphere around us, even though we knew that in the future there will be the real life with real problems, we kind of hoped it would work out for us in the best way without much of a struggle.

Then you meet the reality.

The good thing is, most of us have the opportunity of earning for survival. The jobs that we have are made in a way that not-so-gifted people (a.k.a. most of the society) can complete and understand them. I got a job like that, worked, earned, put my effort and time in it. The first three months were not so bad. I stressed and struggled, but learned. After I managed to make my system and do my job fully, the learning process changed into boredom. Stressed-struggled-bored. Every day.

In a long term, the fire burns out. But it didn’t seem like everyone was that way. After some time and analyzing, the people that felt kind of ok in their positions were more fit for it. Most of the jobs we have are sensory, repetitive, and simple. Even though they are simple, they are not easy for more intuitive and “meaning-seeking” people.

At the same time, society can’t exist without a system. But the system has to have a place for meaning. And that is what we lack, and even worse, that is only our fault.

We exchange quality for easiness and quantity. Most that I see is the lack of long-term thinking. Everything we put on and in our bodies poisons us, we buy cheap and fast, even the music industry is pooping in our ears and we think we like it, because of how easy we can perceive it.

But the people that need the deepness and creativity the most are the intuitive people. And we struggle in what we have made. We need to encourage ourselves and everyone else to understand, to think and feel deeply, and realise that we need to feed our inner selves, not only the cover of us, and take it damn seriously. Because the society has gone lazy, and the easiest way to do it, is to ignore.

I want to end this with the words of Jordan Peterson - buy a piece of art -, whether it’s seeable, readable or hearable. In that way we will encourage each other to do more for our souls than just bodies.

There's Batman, Superman, Spiderman and all the other cool mans. If I'd be a superhero, I'd roll in the crime scene, be like:"Hello. I'm Mehman", shrug and roll away.

before the post just wanted to add that every type has their own name given from historical figures who had the same type (for example: ENTP-Don Quixote, INFJ-Dostoyevsky etc.)

*INTP and ENTP make a mess* INTP: It’s our P-ness, dude. *the moment of realization kicks in* I just… I just said… ENTP: *dies of laughter* *everybody in class stares at them*
