I think all my Raging INFJ posts have lead to this point, to this dramatic declaration which beats at the heart of all INFJs. We despise door slamming, letting go, saying goodbye -- we rage for one reason and one reason alone: we fear our love being wasted. As Mirren so poignantly reminded me on Twitter, "When I love, I love." Her words sparked a burgeoning idea, which I felt compelled to write, knowing all my own rage lead to this interconnected epiphany. When an INFJ says, "When I ...

Saying Goodbye: Raging INFJ Pt. 3
Believe me, I did not intend on writing a three-part series about Raging INFJs. However, days later as I muse on what I've written, I find there is more to say. Always.

The one which says we're special snowflakes, rare unicorns, or pure cinnamon rolls which must be protected at all costs because we hate conflict and run at the sight of blood. B.S. Okay, yes, sure. I admit to hating conflict, but only when it's petty, unresolved, malicious, etc. Conflict which seeks to destroy, not to establish truth. There is a version of healthy conflict which exists. I mean, do we INFJs not wrestle with our own souls ...
What’s on my Shelf: Malediction Trilogy and ACOTAR Series
I realise this a bit of a change from the bi-monthly reviews I write. However, between tweaking my new website and reading new material, I realised I neglected to write a few reviews in addition to needing to write my bi-monthly update. Thus, we’re going to break from tradition a bit. The following reviews are for two series I’ve read. And as always, spoilers! Malediction Trilogy by Danielle L. Jensen I stumbled across this series thanks to Elise Kova, who was instagramming about ...
