I knew you were an INFP. Like my best friend, you’re open-hearted and bring an experimental attitude to life. This is something you’ll be doing forever - exploring a variety of ideas, lifestyles, and experiences. In each new experience, you’ll see an opportunity to not only learn about the world, but about yourself and life’s purpose. So, take your time, Benji. Enjoy your gap year. It might be temporary or it might not. One thing for sure, it’s the beginning of the rest of your life. - ENTP from 🇲🇾

I'm an INFP

@NikolaTheodore 2 жыл бұрын

"This is something you’ll be doing forever - exploring a variety of ideas, lifestyles, and experiences." this used to make me freeze up as an INFP, the idea or the fear that being this way is bad, and that it means that i just can't "make up my mind," "be mature, be an adult" and settle on a decision and a permanent course of action like other ppl seem to be able to. even today, at 30 years old, i cant say i've fully embraced that this is how i am and that that's ok. but i am in a much better place than i used to be. becoming ok with the fact i don't know it all, that i have many interests and don't want to fully commit to one and drop all others, that i have this urge to try different things but not stick with any one single thing, and that i feel the need to reinvent my life, collect things, move cities and countries, etc. and embrace the idea that i may be a dreamer, as opposed to rejecting it vehemently each time someone else called me one.

As someone who ALWAYS wanted to do fun activities growing up but my family couldn't afford it, thank you for recognizing just how privileged you were to have parents that were willing to sacrifice so much for you. I know many people simply overlook what their parents provided for them, so it's nice to know that there *are* people who do recognize just how lucky they are. Also, love all of your videos! You've really inspired me regarding my plants, but also with how I want to decorate my space!

Aah! 💓 Such a cute story! Invite Chris to your videos more often. He somehow adds even more to the positive vibe you already have.🥰 Also, I’m looking forward to the moss video, because I’m only successful in growing it my terrariums, but when I try it in a jar or smthg, it is not doing so well. Maybe it’s the temperature? I think it might be too cold in Europe for moss to grow without some additional light and heat from growing light. 🧐

It's crazy how we have so many things in common! Im taking environmental science after deliberating that and marine biology, still very indecisive. I have attended seminars on aquaponics. I have had violin lessons when i was young, i like to paint, i really like plants, i had swimming lessons and play futsal (indoor soccer). Also i feel like you're an infp too cause it's giving that vibe cause samesies. I love how calm you are as well 💓

I only discovered and subscribed to this channel yesterday and I hope to learn surprising things about plants that I don’t already know, although I won’t be able to apply all your knowledge or advice to my plants, because I live in South Australia and I’m gardening outdoors, (not that easy on this hot and dry climate in summer and coldish in winter) I have only 3 potted plants indoors…my house is surrounded by trees and I don’t have the right light for indoor plants… PS I love both your hairstyles a lot! 🥰

Benji...stay "your" course and be true no matter what life throws at you. You will have ups & downs and you will be indecisive and then play the would-of, should-of, could-of game. The only things that truly matter are your happiness and those that you allow, and that they allow you to be apart of your life. No money, material items, or fame will ever replace genuine relationships. As relationships and the journey's shared is what you will remember when your time expires. As I've said in the past you are one special human being that I am so glad you have given us a glimpse of what can be. The world can be a cold and cruel place sometimes... but your heart, mind and soul are the warmest and most kind that I truly wish you achieve everything you set out to do. As your success will also bring light to those that may only see darkness. Looking forward to seeing more content with the most important things in your life... Family, Chris, Plants & Friends!!!
