We drove to Coventry,
A neighborhood on Cleveland’s east side,
Maybe with Rick Smudz,

But I…

INFPs Are One-of-a-Kind If you are an INFP and you feel weird on the planet, it kind of makes sense, because statistically, you are. INFPs make up an extremely small percentage of our culture, so feeling like we are weird, and being PERCEIVED as kind of weird, is something we should get used to. Learning that…

Who are the ESTJs?
The ESTJ’s plan big events for me and…
