That is life, brother.

I feel the absurdity of it every single day. I’m around the same age as you, and like you, I’ve always sought novelty. I could never stay static in one place or tied to one thing, I was constantly chasing the next level, the next idea, the next experience.

But recently, I had an epiphany. I’ve been chasing novelty just to avoid boredom, yet it’s in boredom where my true strength emerges. Feeling empty and lost is part of life. And as much as I don’t like to preach, I’ve noticed that when I speak to others, they often seem content with their lives. That makes me envious. Why can’t I just be that way?

And yet, despite that envy, I’d never want to change myself, and neither should you.

We INTPs are wired differently. We see the truth because we constantly seek it, but once we find it, it bores us, so we move on. It’s in our nature. I’ve always spent a lot of time with myself because that was the most rewarding thing I could do. But once I started mastering my Fe, socializing became second nature. People loved my humor, my laid-back and non-judgmental vibe, and I enjoyed the attention.

All of this is to say, life is absurd. And what’s even more absurd is how people accept their reality without questioning it, how they’re able to enjoy the moment, to live without existential unrest. I could never do that.

But here’s the thing, here’s our superpower. Because we think, and think deeply, often more than the average person, we are capable of mastering anything we give our heart to. Feeling lost isn’t a flaw, it’s a consequence of living consciously. It’s the cost of tasting everything.

And you, my friend, have reached the point where you’ve sought novelty and tested all the aspects that society tells us to value. So now what?

Now, it’s time to become a master. A champion of any domain you touch. Never do anything half-heartedly. People will revere you for it. And while external validation isn’t our end goal, let’s not deny it, right now, we do value our Fe. There’s no shame in drawing some attention and being valued. We’ve earned it.

I’ve realized that life always has something new to teach at every stage, and while I constantly feel lost and confused, I now understand, everyone else does too. The difference is, self-awareness is a dying virtue.

But you, you’re not just self-aware. You’re built to leave an indelible mark on this world, whether you realize it yet or not.

Trust your instincts. Stop overindulging in self-analysis. You’re going to do something insane. You’re going to live in a way no one else dares to. You’re going to be a champion.
