I am supposed to be in my third phase of personal discovery according to the Meyer's Briggs (25 years +), but I'm fairly sure I'm either extremely precocious or just mixed up, because I am definitely exploring my personality in the "senses" phase, which is supposed to be my fourth in for my INTJ typology. I like different foods, I exercise for self-expression, and yes, I'm pretty engrossed with fashion, make up, art, music, anything that I can dig into and feel. I've always loved creativity, but these days, even the banal is an art form, and everything has an added layer of a tune, a hue, a second breeze in the air, something. It's pretty great, but also weird, because I end up feeling so superficial sometimes, so focused on the material world. The Shakira video typifies that - the rumpled linen, the pounding drums, the physicality of couple's martial arts, and the stained glass contrasted of the bedroom scene contrasted with the sterility of the sauna set.
Really I wonder, what can I do with this focus on what I see touch taste smell and hear? How can I make the world a better place when this is what I gravitate toward? What I think of is physically creating art, and being simple. Feeling the sand under my toes, and giving something back. That's all I've got so far. I'll let you know.
