Living overseas and not having access to Comedy Central, I'm a bit late to the game, but glad I finally discovered Amy Schumer. Her Milk Milk Lemonade sketch had me nearly snorting my drink out my...

When I was in my teens and 20s I was lucky enough to build a core group of wonderful friends who I trusted and respected, and who returned the feeling. They didn't always agree with my opinions and...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUyrRn-9rEQ Some of the most beautiful cinematography in a film rich with it... and for me, some of the most beautiful images ever put to film. What an awesome,...

There are lots of bands whose music I love, but it's worth mentioning the musicians I respect the most for what they do beyond music. I know people like to trash Bono but I admire him. He's genuinely...

It seems to me a lot depends on your expectations and what you want out of the experience of having a family. If you want that stability of dual income, of having someone to share the work of...

nichya, it's Madagascar, in the central highlands near Betafo. That country is the most ethereal place on earth, seriously.

366378 Would love to zap myself back to Mada right about now. <3

Wow, that is seriously creepy (and totally cool). Do you know how to walk on stilts, Laughmore? :D

That's a great poem - did you write that, Kalopsia?

I used to adhere to radical honesty, until about my mid-20s. It did feel really good, having that sense of moral clarity and the joy of integrity knowing you're living according to your principles....

Just got awakened at 2 AM by a ~5.0 earthquake, epicenter 15 km NE of here (Islamabad). That's the third I've felt here in the past 18 months. I'm grateful they haven't been strong, because the...

Like I said, the English teaching companies teach yOU how to teach. They have their own methodology and it doesn't require you to understand grammar. Otherwise no native speakers would ever be hired!...

Thanks for sharing, Laughmore. I'm always grateful when someone turns me on to great anime.

I'm feeling stressed and sad. I have to decide where to spend the next four years of my life, and none of the options are ideal. What I want is a pretty big city with: 1) a good variety of things to...

It seems like most of my stuff comes from just a handful of stores. Work clothes (and jeans) from Ann Taylor. Casual stuff mostly from Loft, Anthropologie, Macys, Nordstrom and sometimes H&M. And...

And lots and lots of vegetables. Yes they're carbs, but they're necessary for your health. I did exactly what you describe - roasted chicken breasts and egg whites and literally nothing else for like...

Don't downplay what she's doing or think my situation was worse. Every instance of abuse looks different and has its own particular story and details but they all share someone putting another person...

Hi nichya, I'm so sorry this is happening to you right now. It's scary, stressful and heartbreaking. We just never expect the people we love to treat us this wrong, and that label abuse seems like...

Ghostsoul please do! I'd read it. :) 17th century Africa or pre-Columbian Central/South America would also be FABULOUS. Why has nobody done this yet?

Today was a pretty good day for me as well. It's the last full day of my weekend vacation in Bangkok before returning to Pakistan tomorrow, and it's impossibly humid and sweltering, so I decided to...

Oh_no_she_DIDNT That's wonderful! Wow, even better than expected! I love days like that. I'm so glad it worked out that way! <3

Artistic Philosophical Caring Honestly, all three but probably mainly caring with a side of philosophical. 1) What is your current profession/career/job? I work in international development as...

Aelthwyn I've pondered on the differences between music, poetry and songs as well, and agree each one is its own distinct form of expression. I'd nuance the idea that songs contain poetry set to...

I am amazed at everyone's tidy handwriting. Holy cow, the school system did something right after Gen X. They switched the style of handwriting taught to us three times in primary school (cursive,...

I highly recommend Madagascar to everyone. That place is beautiful, exotic, diverse, a biodiversity hotspot with beautiful scenery and loads of national parks... the people are kind and welcoming,...

Rift - Any particular reason why you specified women (not men), and asked that question at the INFP forum? :D Maybe we can tailor our responses better if you can give us some context.

Congrats, Stelliferous ! That's wonderful news. In Tennessee you should be able to enjoy a very good quality of life with that income. Wishing you the best of luck with your preparations. :)

Artemis 2x4 I think it's kind of both. Some people like debating and can do it without getting offended/offensive or making it personal, but for a lot of people, having their ideas challenged is...

Oh_no_she_DIDNT Oooh, sounds like fun! Sending you good vibes to get seats. :)

Welcome back, Itsmyhead! Tell us all about it! :D

LadyAeroniel I love those too. :D Especially when there's a special screening and an improv comedy troupe to make fun of it as the film goes along. A recent screening of The Leprechaun with a very...

Rune This is all very enigmatic. I'd love to hear more. What were you doing before, and what are you doing now?

Amelie is one of the greatest INFP love stories ever told. :) Emotional in a very good way, as in, the world is alive with wonder and beauty. Others that move me: Gladiator Pride and Prejudice...

Have you considered teaching English in an Asian country? They set you up with housing, give you training on how to teach (you just have to be fluent in English, and you are), pay you well, you don't...

Oh my god, I thought I was the only person who ever owned that album. Some family friends gave it to me as an Xmas gift when I was like 7. I used to love it. :D

Laughmore I do the same thing. I used to be more confrontational and debate with people, but realized it didn't work as far as influencing their perspective - it would just shut down the...

Keep it up, Monsieur Melancholy !! :) Congrats on your self-discipline and determination!

Arzazar Szubrasznikarazar If you genuinely want a better life and not just to berate life and other people and deepen your suffering (and extend it to others, at minimum your family), you're going to...

Arzazar Szubrasznikarazar have you told your mom your plan? I think you should. It sounds like you feel you need to do this to lighten her load. Odds are good that she is going to be horrified that...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUKglZZoy8s Classic old school rap. Back in college I put together a compilation of the stuff that was popular when I was in junior high, and this track is on it....

Oh_no_she_DIDNT 100% with you on this. We've got to foster connectedness between people, and they are role models to those children, and you're 100% within your right to enforce that at work. My...

Right, and this becomes really flaming obvious when you travel to developing countries. It's painfully evident how unbalanced the distribution of wealth is, how the middle class and even much of the...

Brilliant and well said, Meltedsorbet! The whole post. Thanks for articulating that sentiment so well. You've hit the nail on the head.

I loved your post - I've had a lot of these same thoughts myself. I think it has to do more with the work world and responsibilities than the strictly social. I think people as they get older give...'
