Florence is filled with religious art work(mostly the paintings and frescos) which is why I find the sculptures so refreshing. I love the variety in subject matter, and the art itself is just so beautiful done, it amazes me that someone could carve it out of marble. But I especially have an appreciation for Michelangelo. I’ve seen loads of his sculptures including the David today, and holy fucking shit balls…they are SOOOOOO amazing and well crafted.  I can’t even describe it in words. 

Ya…like eat spoonfuls of Nutella;)

Beautiful view of the heart of Florence.

Thoughts of coming home eventually make me really sad.

The past couple of years have been rough on me, but I’ve also had some great moments, and met some awesome people in the process. I truly grateful for my friends and family for sticking by me and giving me some of the best laughs. Especially in the past couple of weeks I’ve truly never felt happier, and this trip is symbolic of what I’ve been saying for so long: a new beginning. I hope when I come back I’ll be a better, inspired and more fulfilled person. See you in a month my friends.

So apparently this is my personality type: http://www.personalitypage.com/ENFJ.html

It’s weirdly accurate. A couple of the apparent quality traits really struck a chord with me:

“ENFJ’s are so externally focused that it’s especially important for them to spend time alone. This can be difficult for some ENFJs, because they have the tendency to be hard on themselves and turn to dark thoughts when alone. Consequently, ENFJs might avoid being alone, and fill their lives with activities involving other people. ENFJs tend to define their life’s direction and priorities according to other people’s needs, and may not be aware of their own needs. It’s natural to their personality type that they will tend to place other people’s needs above their own, but they need to stay aware of their own needs so that they don’t sacrifice themselves in their drive to help others.”

“The ENFJ may feel quite lonely even when surrounded by people. This feeling of aloneness may be exacerbated by the tendency to not reveal their true selves.”

The parts I bolded are one that really struck me because I know it’s true, and these are things that I consider a problem( especially today). I do beat myself up in my head a lot, and usually I take the blame on myself if anything goes wrong. :(

The one I italicized made me the happiest, because it’s what I hope is true:)

People love ENFJs. They are fun to be with, and truly understand and love people.

I just need to remember to love myself too.

When does the cycle of self doubt and second guessing end? Seriously Payal, wtf? Stop it already!
